Crackerbox

A 15 ft rear-cockpit inboard speedster from Glen-L Marine that looks like a hot rod and has run over 70 mph in competition with a small-block Chevy, yet tows a skier and cruises the main drag. Vee-bottomed sheet plywood, about 500 lb, mid-mounted straight-shaft inboard.

A proven design that can be built on a budget, with Glen-L supplying conversion components. Budget 350 to 600 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
