Ski Tow
Designed by Glen-L Marine
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. Glen-L publish a beam of 6 ft 6 in and a hull depth of 32 in.
They put the usual load at 1 to 4 people. The hull is a vee bottom hard chine developed for sheet plywood planking. They draw a matching trailer for her. A father-and-son classic, judging by the letters Glen-L prints. Budget 250 to 450 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Ski Tow 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.
