yes aluminum is louder but after owning a carolina skiff and seeing how badly that boat was designed i don't think I will ever go back to fiberglass. There to heavy.

I have a aluminum flat boat and it is rated for a maximum of 3 HP this sounds like an awfully small motor is it safe to put a larger motor on like a 5 or 6 HP?
Thanks.
