Gentry

A 17 ft 4 in gentleman's runabout from Glen-L Marine, a modern adaptation of the 1930s mahogany runabouts with deep seats, chrome hardware, a long foredeck and a laminated outer finishing board. Cold-molded mahogany hull; inline inboard to about 350 cu in, marine or automotive.

Cold molding and a show-quality bright finish. Budget 900 to 1,600 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
