Hull type: Sheet plywood hull developed for Fast-G
Stitch-N-Glue construction.
Power: Single long shaft outboard motor to 40 hp.
Short shaft motor can be used if the transom is
modified.
Can the hull be extended or shortened? No. Some
builders have entended the hull but there is not a good
way to keep the lines fair and the results have not
been consistant. We do not recommend increasing the
beam.
Trailer: Designed for use with Glen-L Series 1700 boat
trailer plans.

A compact tabloid cruiser has features usually found only in
much larger craft. A full walk-around deck... trunk cabin with
berths for two... hardtop shelter... and you can build it by the
Stitch-N-Glue Fast-G method as described in more detail in our
catalog.
This is one of the most completely patterned boats of its size.
More than 100 square feet of patterns provide a contour for
virtually every non-rectangular part. Yes, including all
planking, decking, floorboards, transom, breasthook, etc. ... a
complete pattern package to eliminate complex dimensional
layouts. Only standard 4' x 8' plywood panels are used.
Cabin layouts are furnished in the plans but, as an optional
extra, Full Size Patterns for the cabin are available. In
addition, you receive complete material listings with fastening
schedules for both hull and cabin. Complete scaled drawings with
step-by-step written text carry you through all phases of
building. First-time builders will appreciate the attention to
detail provided, but most of all, building with Fast-G makes
boatbuilding easy.
