Ski Tow

A 14 ft 8 in outboard runabout and ski boat from Glen-L Marine with a roomy cockpit, a transom boarding ladder for fallen skiers, a reversing rear seat for the observer and non-structural seats that come out to leave a 5 by 8 ft floor. Vee-bottomed sheet plywood, about 400 lb, outboards to 70 hp.

A father-and-son classic, judging by the letters Glen-L prints. Budget 250 to 450 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
