Default Used 16-17 foot Glass or Tin?

First off let me introduce myself. I am 55 years old and semi retired (due to injury) and looking to get back into fishing again. Have not fished much over the past 15 years due to raising kids and sports! Am now at a point to start back up. Used to fish some tourneys back in the early eighties, but thats a lifetime ago now Anyway have read through almost every thread here and have enjoyed the knowledge base here. Starting to look for a used boat. My garage is only 22 ft deep so thinking kind of limited to 16-17 foot boats. Fishing will be done on smaller lakes and reseviors but an occasional larger lake. Don't need great speed. Have had both glass and tin boats in the past and while tin might be more practical I had a 15ft Hydro Sport in 82 that I loved. Fairly aware of the pros and cons of tin versus glass. I guess I am looking for opinions on boats to consider with glass having preference. Budget in the 2500-4500 range, I know thats not a lot, but preliminary searches of CL have yielded a slew of boats in this price range. Anyone want to chime in on what year and models make for a good value?
