Biscayne 18
Designed by Glen-L Marine
An 18 ft 2 in classic mahogany runabout from Glen-L Marine, the smaller of the two Biscaynes, capturing the runabouts of around 1940 with flaring reverse-curved topsides, transom tumblehome, a rolled gunwale edge and a plumb stem. Cold-molded wood and epoxy planking.
A manageable first cold-molded classic. Budget 1,000 to 1,700 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
What building a Biscayne 18 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.
