In Reply to: what hull / boat should i pick if i want to build a Bow raider such this ? posted by Oskar Carlsson on March 15, 2003 at 05:01:00:
: Hi All boat builders and others.
: (i have to excuse my english cause i live in sweden)
: So bare with me :))
: I have just finished my kids boat a little 10 footer.
: Build from scratch without a drawing. It turned out very well.
: Now i'm thinking on going ahead with a boat for the whole family and i'm realy like the modern bow raiders today.
: And i feel that i realy going to use a drawing so it will be easier to build and correct things.
: But the thing is with the new ones that they often or almost comes with carbet and so on.
: i would ratter have a boat that does not include any
: carpet, just a plastic interior so i just have to wash it of when i go fishing or the kids totally fills the boat with sand from the beach. ( yeah, i tell them to empty their buckets but how listens to a father ;))
: I'm looking for a hull of Glen-l models that can be transformed to look like the boat in the link.
: i have checked all plans and photos on the site and the only one that i could think of is SKI BASS. The length of the boat should be around 5 meters or 18 fot and the wide of the hull should be like 2.5 Meters or
: 7 to 8 foot (i think i have the right conversion factor here)
: i will run my boat mostly in proteckted water shuch as bays and lakes but sometimes i will leave the coast line to head out to the best catch places.
: Also i would ile to put a Pylon on this one like a builder of the aqua cat has done as showing on this site.
: Pylon = rasie the point where you hook up towing line for wakeboard/skiing (if any body dont know what that was)
: all ideas and pointers are very appricieted and will be taking into concideration.
: The link if the post link dont work.

Oskar,
Check out the Mongoose cuddy (sorry glen-l) I think it can easily be converted to a bow rider. Its length and beam should fit your needs. Find it at Clark Craft.
