Are there any manufacturers that still produce boats made from tin(steel)? Why?

Yes, there are several but most are yachts, sailboats, tug boats and barges and cargo ships. This is normally due to it is more more economical to produce large ships with steel. Small boats get too heavy and require too much power when using steel.

Thanks I meant to exclude the big ones and mention small fishing boats and runabouts etc.

I'm pretty sure it is scientifically related. Weight, water displacement, etc. Why would anyone want a small steel boat anyway?
