A or B Class racing runabout

More about Class Racing

CLASS A-B racing runabout was designed to fit into APBA racing classes that are no longer active. It's not a toy, but a full-fledged racing boat. Speed potentials are fantastic! Straightaway runs in excess of 60 mph have been attained in Class "A", and over 70 mph in Class "B"! Obviously such speeds are attained with the most finely tuned motor and boat combination.

Our CLASS A-B provides unlimited thrills on the water for those willing to optimize their racing machine. She has all the requirements to make you a winner, full length, flaring sides and cut-away bow prevent tripping on those fast, tight turns. Our designers took great care to reduce frontal area for minimum wind resistance, together with just the proper amount of wetted surface for maximum speeds with safety. Construction is simple, but lightweight and strong. Whether using our Plans and Patterns or a Frame Kit and Plans, getting into the winners' circle will be easier when building your CLASS A-B runabout the Glen-L way.
