Glen l 16ft cabin cruiser?

[Paul D]

Hello has anyone got any thoughts or opinions on how this glen l 16ft cabin cruiser design would handle sea fishing couple kms offshore ...stability in swells...punching through waves etc etc...just the pros and cons would be much appreciated....thanks.

I would ask these questions on the Glenn L board. It wouldn't be to bad at sea but anyone in the rear will catch spray when running in a chop. I'd like a little more freeboard and self-bailing cockpit for anything in the open sea.

Paul,

You are in luck asking for information on the Glen L Cabin Skiff. Ray Macke built a slightly extended Cabin Skiff and cruised it extensively over many thousands of miles a few years ago. He produced a very detailed website describing both the build and his cruises with it. We corresponded several times while he was building his boat and I think it is a great choice for a minimal cruiser that has good performance.

I remember following his blog build. He did an excellent job on her fit and finish.
