I think it just depends on what you are looking for. Like these guys said the boat can do fine in saltwater.
I had an Express HD 20 at one time and hated it in saltwater but I was trying to fish the open lake. If the water is choppy you will really wish you had a nice glass boat. If you will be spending your time in the marsh or ship channel then an aluminum boat is probably fine.
A 10 knot plus wind in the open lake and you will quickly wish you were at the dock. Just my experience, others may disagree.
