Anyone recognize this boat design?

Thanks.

Have you seen this magazine:

http://www.woodenboat.com/wbmag/small-boats.html

Don't recall the name of that boat on that cover though... I can look it up in a short week or so.

Glen-L marine have probably something similar too...

Design is dated. Typical of boats from the 60s and 70s. Dated does not imply obsolete!! The boat is probably a very conventional warped plane bottom type. It will not require massive horsepower or huge fuel budgets to get reasonable performance.

Picture shows a very nicely done boat. The topside treatment makes it both practical and pleasant to look at. I second the motion to have you scan the Glen-L designs. You can find a similar boat and do the decks and interiors to suit your tastes. This is not a sea boat but it will make a first class fishing, picnicing, and cruising boat for protected waters. Go for it.

I can see the boat on the cover is really close design wise; If you can dig that info up I would appreciate that.

Thank You

Yes I agree, and the builders did a nice job building it! I am finding out they call this type of boat a Runabout.

Typically Runabouts have covered Decks with usually Twin cockpits. Open designs as pictured used to be called "Utilities". Things may have changed though, since I,m referring to the 50,s and 60,s and before.
Could very well be a Glen-L design, probably 16 ft +. I built a Glen-l boat - revised version of their Monaco. They do a very good job with specs and plans with full size patterns

The boat on the front of the Small Boats magazine is an Albury Runabout. Plans are available from Woodenboat.

Yes and I also thought so, and I think for the most part you are right. Such as those mahogany covered barrel backs and such! But it seems some boat designers are using the term in a mixed way.

Thanks
