Torpedo
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 19 ft 3 in classic inboard runabout from Glen-L Marine whose decking and aft superstructure sweep back to a point, hence the name, in the manner of the deluxe runabouts of the past. Fiberglass-covered cold-molded construction with a convex vee bottom, a sawn harpin to ease the sharp forward sheer bend, and an optional second cockpit; inline inboard to about 350 cu in. Glen-L publish a beam of 7 ft 1 in and a hull depth of 39 in.
The bare hull comes out at about 1050 lb. They put the usual load at 3 to 4 people. She floats on a waterline of 17 ft 6 in. Displacement is 2558 lb. The hull is a fiberglass covered cold-molded construction. Convex vee bottom with concavity along the chine and generous flaring sides forward blending into a "torpedo" style stern. They draw a matching trailer for her. Full-size frame patterns drawn as the frames will look finished simplify the job, but it is still cold molding and bright finishing. Budget 1,000 to 1,800 hours. Real hours from logged builds show below.
