Gypsy
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 20 ft 1 in trailerable houseboat from Glen-L Marine that is all houseboat above the gunwale and all speedboat below, with a vee-bottomed monohedron hull good for 30 mph. Sleeps four adults, with a private enclosed toilet room, a galley, an outside helm option and a sun deck. Sheet plywood, about 1,700 lb.
A straightforward plywood build with a lot of flat cabin joinery. Budget 700 to 1,200 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
What building a Gypsy 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.
