Aluminum boats have long been a favorite for anglers, hunters, and recreational boaters alike—and for good reason. They’re lightweight, durable, easy to trailer, and built to handle a wide range of conditions without the high maintenance demands of fiberglass models. Whether you’re cruising a quiet lake or pushing through skinny backwaters, aluminum boats offer a level of versatility that’s hard to beat.

With so many styles and configurations on the market—from jon boats and bass boats to deep-V multispecies hulls—there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade, this list highlights some of the top aluminum boats worth checking out in 2025.

ProJekt Boatworks M-53

The ProJekt Boatworks M-53 is anything but ordinary. This 56-foot, all-aluminum beast is built in British Columbia by Coastal Craft Yachts and powered by quad Mercury V12 600s, pushing the boat to speeds over 60 mph. The twin-stepped deep-V hull is designed for serious offshore conditions, offering a fast, dry ride even when the weather turns.

On deck, the layout is built for entertaining and extended runs, with a fully loaded mezzanine bar, forward and aft seating, and a second control station at the transom to keep the captain close to the action. Below deck, there’s a private cabin with a head and shower, making overnight trips more than comfortable.

With its carbon fiber accents, Seakeeper gyro, and high end electronics package, the M-53 is proof that aluminum boats can be every bit as refined—and as capable—as their fiberglass counterparts.

Tracker Bass Tracker Classic XL

Base Price: $17,895

The Tracker Bass Tracker Classic XL is exactly what it sounds like—a modern version of a classic aluminum bass boat that’s as straightforward as it is reliable. At 16 feet, 8 inches, it’s compact enough for easy towing and storage, but still offers a stable platform thanks to its all-welded construction and 4’6″ bottom width.

It comes water-ready with a Minn Kota Edge trolling motor, a Garmin Striker 4 fishfinder, and a custom-matched trailer, so you’re not nickel-and-dimed for essentials. The carpeted casting decks, aerated livewell, and fold-down fishing seats round things out for anglers who want to focus on fishing—not flipping switches and fussing with complex systems.

Crestliner XFC 189

Base Price: $29,140

The Crestliner XFC 189 is a smart pick for multi-species anglers who want one boat that can do a little bit of everything. At 18 feet, 10 inches, it’s sized right for big reservoirs but still manageable on smaller lakes. The Mod-V hull keeps the ride smooth and dry, while Crestliner’s all-welded aluminum construction adds long-term durability.

Up front, the oversized bow deck includes three pedestal bases, giving you flexibility for solo or side-by-side fishing setups. There are two aerated livewells, plenty of lockable storage, and the layout is clearly designed with efficiency in mind—especially for crappie setups. It’s also rigged to handle a range of electronics and trolling motor options.

If your weekend includes chasing slabs one day and largemouth the next, the XFC 189 has you covered without forcing you to choose a side.
