Cruisette

A 15 ft outboard mini-cruiser from Glen-L Marine with two built-in berths for camping, cockpit space for fishing and enough hull to ski behind. Vee-bottomed sheet plywood, 6 ft beam, about 450 lb, outboard to 60 hp.

Glen-L calls the construction simple for the amateur and low in cost. Budget 250 to 450 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
