Bear-Cat Sport

Designed by Glen-L Marine

A 25 ft 6 in by 10 ft open-cockpit power catamaran from Glen-L Marine, larger and wider than the Wildcat for more displacement, tankage and load, on twin vee-bottomed planing hulls that take twin outboards up to speeds in the 50 mph range. Sheet plywood over wood framing or welded aluminum with beefier scantlings; about 6,000 lb. Glen-L publish a hull depth of 5 ft 1 in and a draft of 14 in.

Displacement is 6000 lb. Amateur-proven methods and full-size patterns, no lofting. Budget 1,200 to 2,000 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
