I have owned aluminum forever. Usually been a 14 to 16 footer for marsh fishing. Several of them have been Xpress. Stay away from the HD series, they will beat you up. The ones with the deeper V, can't remember model, are good riding boats for an aluminum. May have issues with welds or may not. The vast majority don't. That being said, common sense comes into play. If it is rough, don't go or take your time. If it is beating you up, it is doing the same to the hull.
