The Amerigo may not have the best fiberglass, but its actual fiberglass and can be taken off and repaired in a pinch.
"Real" fiberglass (like they make Ranger bass boats out of) seems to me to be the near perfect material for a TC shell. I would think it would also be the easiest to repair. There must be some drawbacks to fiberglass; maybe cost? I don't know of any fiberglass TCs with slide outs. That filon scares the ***** out of me, but that's probably will be on my next TC.
Reddog's Bigfoot and Ranger boats share the same technology. A chopper gun/resin and a mold. It's strong, durable and can be repaired or painted. Filon looks better initially but when it delaminates it's a royal PITA. Glass won't delam at all.
