Tuffy

Designed by Glen-L Marine

A 13 ft 1 in outboard runabout from Glen-L Marine that Glen-L calls an amateur builder's dream: a high-performance little boat proved on several prototypes towing skiers and jumping wakes. Vee-bottomed sheet plywood, about 350 lb, outboards to 40 hp, best in protected water.

The instructions carry more than 50 construction photographs of the prototype. Budget 180 to 320 hours. Real hours from logged builds show below.
