A site dedicated to amateur boat building, with an on-line catalog of boat plans and kits, bulletin board, project registry, builder photos, news letters,. The glen-l plans were excellent and am planning to build another glen-l design this winter. the engine is a fully restored 1949 mercury “super 5” i just finished. i also just finished a 1955 mercury mark 6 restoration that will soon be tested on this boat.. From our beginning, over 60 years ago, glen-l has offered boat building kits for those items that are not readily available from local suppliers. for more information on our various boat kits, click the section above..
This boat is an alteration on the plans and patterns provided by glen-l. we adjusted everything, extending the fair lines, to create a two-man sculling skiff. the boat was built over the past 8 months as part of the senior project for two graduating st. mary's college of maryland students.. Most hardware stores don’t even stock silicon bronze screws, and, of course, it’s unlikely that they will even know what a bronze annular boat nail is. the fastening kit includes all nails and screws in the quantity and size specified in the bill of materials for the glen-l boat you are building.. After some research i determined with some degree of certainty that this was once a kit boat from glen-l designs called the zip. </p><p> i began this project of invention and customization by removing and replacing about 95% of the wood..
