    I don't see any advantage to building with aluminum?

    I won't lie, I looked this boat up on YouTube and it looks pretty sick. Not too keen on the dash myself nor the weird front, but if you notice they do incorporate the tracking wing on the boat Hull as did most older supras do (supra sure-trac). I wouldn't mind having one, we'll see what big boat company buys them out Just to shut them down

    Don't get me wrong, I love my boat, but I'd take metal over fiberglass any day.

    The 22' Pavati is 3950 lbs the 22' Supra is 3800lbs. The 24 Pavati is 4175lbs the 24' Supra is 4000lbs . Fiberglass is cheap to fix and gel-coat will last the life of the boat.Plus Supra will most likely be here 5-10 years from now .

    why would aluminum be more saltwater capable over fiberglass?
