Cabin Skiff
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 16 ft 3 in stitch-and-glue outboard tabloid cruiser from Glen-L Marine with a full walk-around deck, a trunk cabin with two berths and a hardtop shelter, on standard plywood sheets with an outboard to 40 hp. It is one of the most completely patterned boats of its size, with over 100 sq ft of full-size patterns covering the planking, decking and floorboards. Glen-L publish a beam of 6 ft 9 in and a hull depth of 2 ft 6 in.
Headroom below is 5'-0". The hull is a sheet plywood developed for Fast-G Stitch-N-Glue construction. They draw a matching trailer for her. First-time builders are the audience. Budget 300 to 500 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
