Tunnel Mite
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 10 ft tunnel hull from Glen-L Marine, a compact replica of the competition tunnel boats, riding on twin full-length sponsons with an air cushion between for high speed on a small motor, about 120 lb. Sheet plywood, no building form or jig, plans and patterns or a frame kit.
They put the usual load at 1 people. The hull is a tunnel with full length twin sponsons developed for sheet plywood planking. Simple and straightforward; fun for the family to build and to drive on protected water. Allow 100 to 180 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Tunnel Mite 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.
