Bass Boat
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 15 ft 5 in outboard bass boat from Glen-L Marine with a deck layout full of the gadgets bass anglers ask for, a lean 5 ft 4 in beam for working stumps and reeds, and a flat, stable ride. Garvey bow with vee bottom in sheet plywood, about 425 lb, outboards to 70 hp with trolling motors bow and stern. Glen-L publish a beam of 5 ft 4 in and a hull depth of 26 in.
They put the usual load at 2 people. The hull is a garvey with vee bottom developed for sheet plywood planking. They draw a matching trailer for her. Light, strong plywood construction that just about anybody can manage, Glen-L says. Budget 250 to 400 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
