Building the Glen-L HOT ROD
 

Hot Rod Sea Trial
Gayle Brantuk, VP Glen-L Marine Designs at the helm.
Glen-L Boatbuilder Gathering, Guntersville Alabama, Nov 23-25 2009
 

Welcome to the CCW Hot Rod page.  This web site chronicles the construction of a Glen-L Marine Designs  17' V-drive ski boat.  This 1960's style v-drive ski boat will be powered by a 283 cubic inch Chevrolet small block V8.

We've included many photos to illustrate the various steps in the boatbuilding process, with particular attention being given to the mechanical components of the build.  I hope you'll enjoy viewing the full-size mockup, boat, engine rebuilding and marinisation and Glen-L 2100 trailer construction photos.

Feel free to contact us if you are a Glen-L builder in the Ottawa/Hull/Gatineau area or have any questions about the Glen-L Hot Rod.
