Stiletto

A 16 ft outboard ski boat from Glen-L Marine styled like the fast inboard ski boats, with flaring sides that add buoyancy at the transom and act as anti-trip chines in hard turns. Vee-bottomed sheet plywood, about 440 lb, outboards to 100 hp.

Designed for the amateur with full-size patterns, and Glen-L promises a result hard to tell from a factory boat. Budget 300 to 500 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
