A/LETAX SHARK

The Metal Shark 26 Relentless is a welded aluminum high performance center console with a versatile, crew-friendly layout ideal for law enforcement, security, and response missions. Our Relentless series models are characterized by their performance hulls and by their sheathed foam collar fendering system that provides impact protection during docking, boarding, or alongside maneuvers. Another notable feature of the 26 Relentless is its roomy layout that allows for easy access from bow to stern. Integrated dive reliefs on both the port and starboard side facilitate boarding and recovery operations....

Console, Dash, & Integrated Hard Top: The 26 Relentless features a welded aluminum console with integrated hard top. The hard top is available in a fold-down configuration that allows it to be quickly stowed for transport. Metal Shark’s use of pillarless fritted-fit glass substantially enhances visibility by reducing dangerous blind spots, and the large dash easily accommodates all controls and electronics. Like all Metal Sharks, the 26 Relentless is a fully custom vessel that is built to order, so the customer may determine the dash components as well as their layout.

Seating: The 26 Relentless is shown here with side by side SHOX shock-mitigating high performance seats with fold-down pistol-grip armrests and drop-out bottoms. There are numerous options available in terms of shock mitigating seats, or alternately, conventional seats or a leaning post may be installed.

Spacious Aft Deck: The 26 Relentless features an uncluttered aft deck with a non-skid floor, and port/starboard dive reliefs that facilitate boarding or dive operations. (Outboard version only). Large welded cleats, towing post with line spool, and engine protection bar provide added utility. Helm seat gun locker also shown here.

Forward Cockpit: The 26 Relentless features a roomy forward cockpit with non-skid cockpit sole and ample freeboard. There’s a large anchor locker forward, along with welded towing bit and heavy duty welded cleats. Life ring with mount also shown here.

Choice of the US Military: Metal Shark was awarded a multi-year contract to produce a fleet of customized 26 target boats for the United States Air Force and Navy. The vessels serve as the U.S. Military’s High Speed Maneuverable Surface Target (HSMST) craft. The 26 Relentless was chosen because it offers the speed and maneuverability necessary to test the U.S. military’s advanced weapons systems. The HSMST layout boasts a unique console and aft radar arch which were designed to meet the required U.S. Military specs, and serves as an example of how Metal Shark can modify an existing platform to...
