I run the Brazos river in TX big rocks, sand bars, gravel bars, and concrete and steel in places. I have been running this river a long time and fiberglass doesnt do well here ,my boat will have 125 bottom. 90 sides and be aluminuim
Here is my thinking about poly.
It isnt trouble free . first you build a hull then drill a quillion holes in it ,besides the bolts sticking up in the boat , every one is a potential leak. Poly works great as long as it doesnt get a tear or rip in it ,if it does it can wreck you quick.Plus the added weight
I am going to use some form of quick slick ,very little added weight ,to me it is also safer, and I can always add the poly later.
As far as holes dent and tears in my aluminum hull ,heck I built it I can dang sure repair it.
Just my 2 cents worth.
