I'ld have to say that glass boats certainly have their place. I have
two of
them, (The Skeeter is for sale) but a well rounded TV show might need to
be
open to possibilites that aren't necessarily your own. You might
consider
other options. An aluminum jet would be the perfect boat in some
circumstances. I love my Baker tunnel hull, but I just ordered a Waco
16
for back water running myself. If you could have balanced that out with
the
potential sponsor you might have been able to offer more and serve more
useful information to more viewers. JMHO.

I do understand your view, and I agree with you. I'm just not sure that
you
shouldn't be open to other possibilities in your base choice about glass
boats.

Oh, I'm not saying that I won't ever film a show from anything other than
a glass boat. That's not
it and if circumstances warrant a change, i.e. sturgeon fishing on the
Snake River, or fishing some
remote backwater, I'll certainly use what is appropriate. But, much of
what I'll be doing can be
done from a glass boat. I might have to reconsider my choices and go with
more of a multi-species
boat.

The ultimate would be to get a sponsor that has both a glass and aluminum
line of boats and get one
of each! Any offers? :-)

You said aluminum jet. I know of lots of aluminum boats, but can think off
hand of only one that has a jet boat setup for fishing. They have both. In
fact I considered buying one earlier this year.
