Pug
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 13 ft 2 in electric double-ender from Glen-L Marine, a beamy vee-bottomed stitch-and-glue hull built either as a little tug with cabin and bulwark or as an open runabout. Two drive plans: a conventional shaft and strut with a separate DC motor, or a cheaper and simpler modified electric trolling motor. About 140 lb, seats two or three. Glen-L publish a beam of 6 ft 2 in.
They put the usual load at 2 to 3 people. Displacement is 820 lb. Headroom below is 5' 8". The hull is a vee bottom, double-ended, developed for Stitch-n-Glue sheet plywood construction. For power they specify electric DC motor ½ to 1 HP operating on deep cycle batteries totaling 24 to 36 volts driving the propeller shaft with vee belts. They draw a matching trailer for her. Easy to build by stitch and glue. Budget 150 to 300 hours, more for the tug cabin. Real hours from logged builds show below.
What building a Pug 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.
