Help with purchase of a Bass boat

[switchback xt hunter]

I am asking for help inregards to my first bass boat purchase. I am looking at a bass tracker pro team 175 at the moment. Aluminum vs. fiberglass used vs. new? I see other brands like Stratos, Nitro, Skeeter with higher price tags. I know that doesn't always mean better but, it makes me wonder. Price is not a huge issue but with this being my first one I want to get one that will last. I will mostly fish Lakes like East Fork or Laureli, the Ohio River, and a couple of trips to cumberland each year. I will also be getting into a few tournaments.

Thank you in advance
