Find a restored Hainesv19 or an 18 ft Sea nymph Commander or even a a 14ft 6 steadecraft, go for a run in the chop alongside a slighty bigger Surtees, Ramco, Stabi, or senator. In the glass boats you'll be able to drink a beer the guys in the tinnies will be tying the rods down. Fact: You can't bend Ali like you can mould fiberglass.
