Aluminum boats are limited on how they can build them glass boats can be constructed with constant curvature to slice and deflect the spray back down.
No too long ago, Tracker was making some very nice boats whose hulls were formed from a single sheet of aluminum and had smoothly-curved contours like glass boats. They had a multi-species called "Tundra" and a bass boat called "Avalanche". The Next Bite guys used to run them, I think. I believe they licensed the hull-forming process from NASA. Sadly, they don't make them anymore. Maybe we'll see more boats like them when NASA's patent runs out.
