You really need to look at an Aluminum Boat Manufacturer.

For the abuse and use they are the best by far and they are easily configurable to many different setups as there is no "set" mold design. In boards, outboard, diesels all easy to do.

I agree that aluminum boats can be quite tough. Aside from Metalshark's 40' fearless, I have not seen any designs that are made for high speed. Most are quite heavy, slow and very expensive. If there were a builder in the SE that makes offshore race style hulls with comparable performance, enhanced durability over FRP all at a competitive price point, I'd be leaning heavily that way. Unfortunately, I have never heard of any such manufacturer. Any ideas or references?

Pantera could have been the builder.

Im not feeln thst there was sguy that built a badazz looking aium perfboat 9 or 10 years ago here on oso there was a build thread i think it was toolight and beat the piss out of you and would not run in bigstuff. Anyone know whatever became of that boat?

Yeah the apache ownerz all crap their pants when a formula rolls up the starting línea of a big water offshore race lmao

I have all of the original Team Scarab Molds ranging from 26' to 46' that we can build sterndrive or outboard witch we have built both in all of the models. and we can do stepped or not just let us know. vacumm bagging all of or boats for the last 25 plus years using all of the latest materials.

Here is your aluminum boat builder ! ! !

I cant find the thread but there was a Guy across the pond (Germany, Stockholm or somewhere like that) that built a aluminum offshore boat. I remember it was black, twin diesel's,

WE also have built diesel with shaft drives and rudders for endurance and military.

There were some very good Scarab hulls!!!
