Monte Carlo
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 24 ft 6 in classic barrel-back inboard runabout from Glen-L Marine in the style of the finest Chris-Crafts, with the sides sweeping into the deck in a half-barrel arc at the stern and two cockpits forward that can be combined. Cold-molded plywood and veneers fully epoxy-encapsulated, so it does not leak or need to stay in the water; central inboard of 300 to 450 cu in. Glen-L publish a beam of 7 ft 6 in and a hull depth of 36 in.
The bare hull comes out at about 1400 lb. They put the usual load at 8 people. The hull is a cold-molded veneers and plywood. Convex vee bottom with flaring sides and a "barrel-back" transom tumblehome. They draw a matching trailer for her. Cold molding plus a gleaming mahogany finish is a long, rewarding job. Budget 1,500 to 2,500 hours over two to five years. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
What building a Monte Carlo 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.
