Hi Rider
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 20 ft 2 in deep-vee sportfishing boat from Glen-L Marine with no cabin beyond an enclosed head under the helm seat, full walkaround decks, covered storage for gear and catch, and the helmsman's eye 8 ft above the water. Sheet plywood, 16 degree deadrise with lift strakes, 75 to 90 gallons of fuel; outboards or a stern-drive inboard.
A conventional plywood build without the interior a cruiser demands. Budget 600 to 1,000 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Hi Rider 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.
