Slither
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 17 or 18 ft whitewater sled from Glen-L Marine, the smaller sibling of the Snake Shooter with the same 6 or 12 degree transom-vee options, a beamy, deep, flared hull for dry running, and outboard jet, prop, inboard jet or I/O power. Sheet plywood over wood framing or welded aluminum, about 700 lb.
A rugged, simple plywood build with full-size frame patterns. Budget 400 to 700 hours. Real hours from logged builds show below.
What building a Slither 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.
