We are going back into production of the iconic Larry Smith 26 conventional bottom with flat deck. we have orders for 2 at this time. Boats can be ordered bare hull or fully completed boat with your choice of power I/O or outboard and finish. Please contact Dan at 949-646-9778.

most fun boat we own is a 25 foot active thunder with pretty close to an open class engine straight bottom long 380 tabs xr drive on a cool day it will hit 100 its just a fun boat how close is the larry smith 26 to this? we are a stand up boat

We build them as a sit down with a 540-bravo package it runs 86 MPH. Through anything.

Super cool boat for sure!

Nothing like a 26 LS, cutting edge production by Dan at Archer. Attention to detail, build quality, rigging, seaworthiness, and performance. This is the

way to go instead of looking for a needle in a haystack Team Scarab 26 by Larry Smith and then spending deep into 6 figures on a resto of a boat that

will not run like this. The reason to resto a 30 year old plus Larry Smith 26 is if the boat has sentimental value or you got the coins and want to rescue one

of the absolute best 26 footers ever designed. So excited Dan got 2 more orders of new ones. Congrats!

The beam on the non Tantrum AT 25 is identical to the 26 LS, but the AT 25 is a splashed Cigarette Firefox. It originally started, 1991-1993, as an AT 24, and the AT 25 is the same hull.

Length 24'6" beam 7'8".

The 26 LS is L. 26'3" B. 7'8". The high deck on the AT 25 makes it more of a quick offshore seaworthy performance boat, the low-profile of the Larry Smith-designed Scarab 26, and

with the almost 2 feet longer running surface, makes it an extremely seaworthy offshore race boat. The Scarab could do close to 120 mph, but doing 100 mph in a AT 25 is not for

the normal high performance boater.

Third AT 24 made. 1991.

i believe our tantrum is one of the 3 built it must have been built to race everything has machined backer plates in the engine room that has extra stringers even the tabs have plates on the inside to this day theres no stress cracks and the sides and top deck are solid and hurt your hand when you thump it i,m sure its a bit heavy but it loves the nasty thousand island water during the day, it does not chine walk i,m sure the long tabs are the secret... the engine room was also smooth finished its pretty impressive for an old school hull i have slept on it a few times it has a very nice cabin too this boat need to go to offshore class racing i think thats what it was built for? somewhere in its history ron potter owned it the engine builder

Thanks for all the fabulous footage Lars!....Hey Dan, what materials used in this new production hull separate this LS 26 from its past build.....how much lighter is this new hull?
