Sorry I did not mean to offend, I could not help myself.
Dont sell glass short on being tough though as mine is 16ft, 190lbs dry weight, purchased in 1983 and gets shoved over every type of rock known to man or beast. I have taken her down through the boulder gardens of the upper stamp many times but by far the worst the old girl has had to endure is two trailering misshaps. Once just past Cathedral grove the whole trailer broke away off my buddies truck and the boat and trailer came to a stop about 100 ft or so into the bush. The steel trailer was folded in two and never used again but the boat did not have a scratch on it. A few years later on a trip up to the gold we hit black ice and my partner ended up rolling the truck. We were hanging upside down by the seatbelts and the boat was once again flung off the trailer at about 50 mph and there was only a small crack on the outer ridge near the anchor bracket. A bit of gelcoat and she was as good as new.
Glass is quiet, tough, and best of all you can touch up the bottom yourself every decade or so.
From the thread it looks like you are a fan of one material or the other, not both.
Good luck with your sale!
