    Hi. I am keen to have a 65-80ft steel or alum. hull motorboat built in Europe. Any suggestions on reputable yards/designers?

    Holland would be good place to start looking. Plenty of builders in aluminium and steel (or both if you wish steel hull with alloy superstructure)

    Builders range from modern looking to classic. Price varies greatly as you'd imagine depending on what you exactly want

    Kuipers build in alloy, Van Dam Nordia are starting MY range after being predominantly sail. Jongert also. Volharding are another name. Bloemsma and Van Bremen. These are just people I've worked with.

    Your question is very open.

    Speak with Vripack. They do everything from design to management of build.

    Best of luck.
