were they always kit boats

Glen-L always sold plans and pre-cut wooden boat kits that you put-together yourself only.
They used to advertise all the time in the back of Popular Mechanics & Popular Science Magazines.
Wooden Boat kits were very popular Build-It-Yourself projects in the 40s-50s-60s !

They still sell boat plans , special marine hardware , and a few old pre-cut wood boat kits that are still left-over in their old stock~~~

They mostly sell plans & hardware only today.

They never sold complete assembled boats !

Back in the late 60's I saw this Glen L boat and wanted to build it.. By 1970 I knew I was'nt up to building one so bought a 16' Donzi instead. I see they still have the plans for this one.

I get there monthly news letter and every once and awhile you see them advertise closeout sales on pre cut kits which i think they are trying to entirely phase out but non the less some of there Classic Runabout designs have very nice lines .
