Riviera

Designed by Glen-L Marine

A 20 ft 3 in classic dual-cockpit mahogany runabout from Glen-L Marine, a larger version of the Monaco with more seating forward, in the gentleman's runabout tradition. Cold-molded plywood and veneers over closely spaced frames for low maintenance; central inboard of 250 to 350 cu in, with Glen-L supplying the strut, rudder and shaft log.

A boat that lets the craftsman shine, in Glen-L's words, and many builders go to great lengths on the finish. Budget 1,200 to 2,000 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
