Owned the 1990 version of the same boat, just sold it though. It was a great boat for my first but I wanted something a little faster and before I knew it, I'm riding around in a 2001 BassCat Sabre (it'll do 60), sorry, on to the subject....
Aluminum has alot of advantages mentioned above and I never waxed my Pro V like I will the Cat. Just wipe her off and put back in the garage for the next trip. (you'll love that) Also, not as much worry putting it on a trailer, aluminum is tough. The deep V keeps you more stable running and fishing although the wind will catch the higher bow/sides and try to turn you more than other designs, I found a little more power at trolling motor helped alot with that issue (Minnkota 40AT). Anyway, hope this helps, and enjoy the boat. that's what it's all about anyhow.
