Mike Nichols and his son Christopher built this 13'6" speedboat. The plans were from Glen-L Marine and they used stitch and glue construction. They use it with a 50 hp mercury engine on Lake Champlain. After spending more than a year building the boat, they launched in the summer of 2001.
Well, it's been about two years since I started working on the boat. Like most of my projects, it sat idle in the garage while priorities shifted and free time vanished. She's finally done, though, and we launched her at a nearby lake last weekend.
