MetalCraft offers four different barge hull designs,
A flat-bottom Sea Truck, where hull efficiencies are designed around max payloads and lifting options. Designs available from 24’ to 36’.
The Bullnose, a deep ‘V’ high speed, high wave, pick up truck on the water that drives like a boat not a barge. Designs available from 20’ to 34’.
