River Rat
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 20 ft 2 in jet sled from Glen-L Marine with a modified garvey underbody, 12 degree deadrise and built-in chine flats that keep it dry. Separate plans for glassed sheet plywood or welded aluminum, jet pump or outboard power, an optional keel shoe for the pump, and open center-console or windshield versions; the hull can be lengthened or shortened about 10 percent.
A straightforward plywood build with a rugged result. Budget 400 to 700 hours. Real hours from logged builds show below.
What building a River Rat 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.
