Lo Voltage
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 15 ft 7 in electric launch from Glen-L Marine, stitch and glue in multi-chine plywood, driven by a golf-cart DC motor on 24 to 36 volts at 4 to 6 mph for about five hours, recharged from a household outlet. Seats two to five in a sociable cockpit, about 250 lb. Glen-L publish a beam of 6 ft 0 in.
They put the usual load at 2 to 5 people. The hull is a multi-chine developed for Stitch-N-Glue sheet plywood. Power: Electric DC motor commonly used on golf carts operating on deep cycle storage batteries connected in a series to provide 24-36 volts. They draw a matching trailer for her. Full-size patterns for virtually every part including the planking make the hull simple; the drive is basic electrical work. Budget 150 to 300 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
