Scooter
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 15 ft 9 in shallow-water flats boat from Glen-L Marine with a through-tunnel hull that lets the motor be raised, drawing 4 in with 1,000 lb aboard, for the knee-deep backwaters of the Gulf coast. Sheet plywood, about 600 lb, outboards to 120 hp. Not a boat for open water. Glen-L publish a beam of 6 ft 10 in and a draft of 4 in.
They put the usual load at 3 to 4 people. The hull is a shoal draft semi-tunnel developed for sheet plywood. They draw a matching trailer for her. Glen-L calls the build easy, with no building form. Budget 250 to 450 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Scooter actually takes
