The Tracker Tundra showed that there is more that can be done with Aluminum boat construction. The hulls for those boats were made by Boeing using a molding process that was rather unique. I think the reason we do not see this in tin boats (this is a guess) is that there is probably a significant tooling cost required to use the process. Either that or it is proprietary to Boeing and they are not sharing. I'm just speculating on this front.

As to if/when such processes will be used in boats again? I have no idea.
