Gollywobbler 43
Designed by Sam Devlin
A 42 ft 8 in semi-displacement power cruiser by Sam Devlin, developed from his Gollywobbler 38 and built stitch and glue. Beam is 12 ft 3 in, draft 38 in and displacement 21,000 lb. Twin 185 hp Volvo diesel stern drives sit right aft, freeing space for a guest cabin with 6 ft 2 in headroom beneath the pilothouse settee. The designer's target is an 18 knot cruise with two couples aboard in built-in berths.
The Devlin site lists this design as a custom build from Sam Devlin with no plans listed, so an amateur builder would need to approach the designer directly. A boat of this size means many thousands of hours over several years. The medians below come from builders who logged this boat here.
What building a Gollywobbler 43 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
