Nordcoaster
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 27 ft trailerable tug-style motoryacht from Glen-L Marine with a double stateroom, enclosed head and shower, a roomy pilothouse with side-deck access, a convertible dinette and a dinghy boat deck. Plywood over wood framing with a three-quarter-inch double-diagonal bottom, or welded aluminum. Inboard or I/O, 6 to 18 knots on 25 to 155 hp.
Well suited to a do-it-yourselfer, Glen-L says, but it is a complete small ship. Budget 1,800 to 3,000 hours. Real hours from logged builds appear below.
What building a Nordcoaster 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.
