Slot Machine
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 45 ft 11 in high-speed tunnel-slot performance cruiser from Glen-L Marine, originally a custom design whose sea trials validated the concept, now sold as plans. Modern composite construction throughout: vinylester, unidirectional glass, vacuum-bagged PVC or balsa core and carbon at critical points over a simple male mold, with no wood anywhere. Twin stern-mounted engines on surface drives; sleeps four; about 14,200 lb. Glen-L publish a beam of 12 ft 6 in and a draft of 2 ft 0 in.
Headroom below is 6'3"-6'6". Not beyond a qualified do-it-yourselfer, Glen-L says, but it is advanced composite work at yard scale. Expect 5,000 hours or more. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Slot Machine 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.
