Jimbo

A 15 ft 9 in garvey with center console from Glen-L Marine, a square-bowed workhorse fishing hull with a generous vee, a self-draining motorwell and a flat, protrusion-free floor. Separate stitch-and-glue plywood and welded aluminum plans, each drawn for its own material rather than converted.

The stitch-and-glue version is a quick first powerboat. Budget 150 to 300 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
