I all,

I need some advice.

I'm getting a new canoe this summer. What holds up better to time: Plastic (like Ram-X) or Fiber Glass?

I had a glass canoe for 15 years, stored it out of the sun and it was in perfect shape when it got stolen a year ago. I'm lookinig for a replacement. Not a white water super banana, nor a 3 keeled barge. The Coleman 17 ft seems to fit the ticket (stability, length, beam, price), but I was wondering if it holds up to the sun and heat as well. (my canoes spend whole weeks and weeks on the roof rack tightly lashed down.

Back when I did sea kayaking, rented plastic boats were prone to saging and bending under load in the sun. Do the ram-x canoes suffer form the same consideration?

Thanks very much for any advice.
