That's not actually true. It's all about displacement in the water, and the shape of the hull bottom, and what is inside of it determines that. The truth is steel costs more, and the artisians who crafted it here in America no longer work at the trade because of the so called miracle fiberglass that is much easier to mold but breaks down, and needs more repairing for lesser, and lesser reasons, and is what the manufacturers have decided to sell us.
