Nick,
my SeaRaider is Wood-Epoxy, my first BayRaider, No. 11, is GRE -Glass Reinforced Epoxy-. My other BR No. 39 is GRP -Glass Reinforced Polyester-.
I very much prefer the plastic boats for their durability and their lowest possible maintenance. The GRP BR hull is the toughest of the lot.
That boat is practically bullet-proof, and considering it is also the cheapest of the lot, I would go for that again any day.
The wood-epoxy hull is fairly lightweight, true, but that comes a price. First, it is a lot more expensive to buy, and secondly, the 6 mm wood hull punctures quite easily above the waterline (the glass hardened part is under the waterline). I had two punctures (splintered indentations) there from very minor encounters. And as most of the above waterline area is double-walled with airtanks under the gunnels, repair can only be done from the outside.
Then also, the wood epoxy is difficult to repaint, a lot of sanding required. My 2005 SeaRaider needed a new paint coat in the cockpit and on the deck. I just couldn't do it myself, with all the tiny details. I had to give it to a pro, and paid a bundle for it. The GRE and GRP hulls on the other side still look like as new, even though they have done a good bit of mileage on the road and on the water.
Wood or plastic, your own decision.
