Met the president of Sailfish boats at the Miami Boat Show a couple years ago during a visit with Skip & Carla. Very nice gentleman and very much aware of Carl Moesly's pioneering work on the SeaCraft VDH design. He said he personally prefers Okume plywood for transoms and structural reinforcements, but he said you can't sell a boat today with wood in it because of concern for rot! They use a CAD system for all design work as do most modern outfits and I understand they've tweaked the bottom design a bit. Seems to have more pronounced flats at the chine for spray deflection. Overall it looks like they're building well designed and nicely finished boats.
