I found an interesting hull when wandering around the web last night.

If the site is available it's http://www.surf-skis.com/Surfskis.html

" Vacuum bagged aluminum clad carbon hull

The boats are constructed of carbon with a skin of lightweight aluminum
cloth, providing a light stiff hull with heat reflective qualities, very
little weight is added as a gel coat is not needed with the vacume
bagging process"

I got to the site this morning via a google search and had to look at the
Google cached page. Their site _was_ working yesterday.  The company
appears to be called aquasitons (aqua sit ons  - for those of us who
tried
to hard to pronouce it as one word ;-)

For the google cached page: http://216.239.37.104/search?q=cache:VNxDdBV-
VhpMJ:www.surf-skis.com/Surfskis.html+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 or

No affiliation with aquasitons, just a technology I hadn't seen before.
