Snake Shooter
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 20 ft 1 in whitewater sled from Glen-L Marine with two bottom options on the plans, a 6 degree transom vee for the shallowest water or 12 degrees for open water, and a choice of center-console or pass-through windshield versions. Sheet plywood over wood framing or welded aluminum; outboard with jet or prop, or inboard jet or I/O. Glen-L publish a hull depth of 39 in/34 in.
The bare hull comes out at about 1050 lb. For power they specify 75 to 230. Full-size frame patterns and no lofting. Budget 500 to 800 hours in plywood. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
What building a Snake Shooter 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.
