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.
