The epoxy seals and stabilizes the wood against moisture and locks out rot so that long life without excessive maintenance is assured. Unlike traditional boats often plagued by leaking seams and flexing hulls, these designs feature tight, stiff, strong, and lightweight COLD-MOLDED WOOD/EPOXY PLANKING. In fact, this construction is SUPERIOR to how such boats were built in the past. While our classic mahogany runabout designs capture the look and feel of past boats, they all feature modern, SIMPLIFIED CONSTRUCTION specially designed for today’s do-it-yourself woodworker.

It’s the result of today’s EPOXY TECHNOLOGY coupled with our proven building methods, leading to results you’ll be proud of. Whether you want the exact look of the originals or a performance version that most people will immediately assume is an original, Glen-L has what you are looking for.īut most important, although we’ve designed these boats to be well within the realm of do-it-yourself builders with perhaps little or no boatbuilding experience, the resulting boats will actually be SUPERIOR to those of the past in virtually every way. MONTE CARLO is our performance option to MISS CHRIS.
#WOOD RUNABOUT BOATS CRACKER#
The GENTRY is our classic version of the perennial favorite, Cracker Box. Mark Bronkalla (Riviera builder) calls his boat “55 mph furniture”. The MONACO and RIVIERA are some of our most popular designs. If you are looking for more performance, we have a line of performance mahogany runabouts with the look of the classics, but with hull shapes designed for speed. And there’s little difference between our MISS CHRIS and the long, shapely grand triple cockpit classics of the early 1930’s. Our BARRELBACK and KEY LARGO are as close as you’ll get to duplicating the famed Chris Craft Custom Runabouts built between 19 (less than 400 were ever built!). Our TAHOE models replicate those boats produced in the several years either side of 1940, while our BISCAYNE models capture the elegance of those produced around the 1950’s, with perhaps a hint of European influence and flair. Each features a shapely hull with reverse curved flaring topsides forward, tumblehome sterns aft, and a generous roll all along the deck edge. And you’ll save a small fortune in the process, not to mention all the time and effort of restoring some questionable hulk that might cost more in the long run than building new from scratch.Įven the most critical eye will be hard-pressed to tell the difference in our designs from classics of the past.

Our stock plans – all done under the discerning eye and experienced hand of our designers – feature TRUE AUTHENTIC STYLING that accurately emulates award-winning restorations you’ve seen at classic boat shows.
