Design

Play Pen

A 15 ft 5 in outboard dive and fishing boat from Glen-L Marine built around one very large open cockpit on a garvey bow with a vee bottom, an exceptionally wide deck-line beam with heavy flare for reserve buoyancy. Sheet plywood with a sawn harpin and chine that avoid bending longitudinals forward; about 550 lb, outboards to 75 hp or a light I/O.

The sawn members make the forward framing easier than usual. Budget 250 to 450 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
