Mark Twain Series

Designed by Glen-L Marine

Glen-L Marine's pontoon houseboats in four lengths from 28 to 40 ft, on light catamaran hulls of bulkhead frames and sheet plywood with fine bows and a minimum of bending. The deckhouse is independent of the hull, built from ordinary lumber, plywood and aluminum sheet, and every set of plans includes full-size patterns for the hull framing.

Simple construction, but there is a great deal of it at 28 ft and above. Budget 800 to 2,000 hours depending on length. Real hours from logged builds show below.
