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.
