ZIP is a high speed, deluxe sport runabout in the classic style. She furnishes all of the flashing speed, thrills, and performance that one could hope for. Ideally suited for towing water skiers or showing the local lads a clean pair of heels ZIP can also be finished as a utility with a large open cockpit for fishing or general use. With her flaring sides, she is very dry. The bottom design allows for quick starts and excellent performance, with a generous vee forward to cushion the ride. A roomy 5'-9" beam assures stability.

"Thanks to everyone at Glen-L for their assistance in the construction of my boat. I was thoroughly satisfied with the plans and they were easy to follow and very accurate. I don't think I had any real problems with anything that was not solvable with a phone call." |
