Compound bottom with bulbous section at the keel and reverse curve at the chine. Designed for double diagonal plywood planking on the bottom and sheet plywood on the sides. For power they specify inboard marine engine, gasoline or diesel with appropriate reduction gears, usually 1 1/2: 1 or 2:1. Large but conventional Glen-L construction with full-size frame patterns.
