Gung Ho
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 28 ft express cruiser from Glen-L Marine in classic style, with full 6 ft 3 in headroom, an enclosed head, L-shaped galley, vee berths and a convertible dinette. Double-diagonal plywood bottom with bulbous keel and reverse-curve chine, sheet plywood sides; single or twin central inboards. Finished bright with chrome it draws a crowd.
Glen-L notes one builder logged 18,000 hours on his, which says something about how far you can take the finish. A realistic budget for a good amateur finish is 2,500 to 4,000 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Gung Ho actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
