Dragonfly

A 17 ft 6 in stitch-and-glue garvey flats boat from Glen-L Marine with a squared bow for room, a recessed deck for a walk-around fishing platform and a windscreened cockpit. Flat bottom aft, vee forward, wrapped around a single building form; about 550 lb, outboards of 40 to 60 hp, 135 max.

A proven method used by many first-time amateurs. Budget 200 to 350 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
