The Boat of Choice

In the previous post I said I choose the Glen-L plans and this is why. I was looking for something that was lite, had plenty room to carry things , and it is wide. The vee design will make it a smooth ride in a chop are when passing another boat or barge. This boat has a beam of 8'6" and a bottom of 5'6". I have decided to add five feet to it and make a 30 footer. when I'm finished with it will sleep two and move at a 15 to 20mph clip. By adding that 5 ft. I can incorporate a small galley and a head. I ordered my plans on Thursday the 13Th and received them on Saturday the 15Th. Well we have started laying the frame patterns and after we do that we are going to build a temp shop so we can start this dream.
