I like all glass boats, since they are tough and easy to restore.
Chances are that boat will out live you.
We've talked about Community Boating in Boston, where I, as well as tens of
thousands of others, learned to sail. The 30 15 foot Mercury's they purchased
in 1952 are still in constant use.
For those who have never been to Boston, when you see sailboats in TV shots of
Boston, such as in "Cheers," you're probably looking at the Mercury's.
