I am in the process of building a Zip. I received the plans in August 2008. I am a very slow builder and have a full time job so I am not yet finished. I have attached some photos so you can see how far I am. I intend to submit a full set of construction history whenever I am finished.

10 August 2005 I recently completed my Zip, after 7 months of spare time work and I could not be happier. I have wanted to build a boat from scratch for a long time and enjoyed this one so much I will soon start on another. I have sold the Zip. Next will be the Malahini. Thanks for your support and great products. Regards, Don Witherspoon Hernando, FL

Zip by Buddy Slack, Columbia, South Carolina November 19, 2008 My name is Buddy Slack and I just finished my Zip. I could not have completed this project without Barry's advice. I used your frame kit and products. The outboard is a 1961 Merc 500.

Zip by Pat Wilkening, San Diego, California July 1, 2009 Building my Zip was a really fun project. I used mahogany ply, Sapele and Honduras mahogany to build the hull and deck. Powered by an old Mercury 40hp I found on Craigslist, it actually goes along pretty quick (easily passing big jet skis). I get lots of compliments on it, with "how old is that thing?" being the most commonly asked question. Thanks for the well thought-out, easy to follow plans!

Zip by Tim Grudecki, Dekalb, Illinois June 5, 2009 The "Donna Marie," named after my mother. I started her last year and 15 months later on my 30th birthday I got to launch her! She has got a 2008 Yamaha 4 stroke 50hp on her, and she clips along around 40mph on nice flat water. Lots of chrome on her with a stainless steel cutwater, transom bands, and of course it is sporting your Glen-L colors with the burgee flag flying high!

Zip by Jack Hartwig, St. Charles, Missouri November 18, 2008 Here are a couple of pictures of the Zip I just completed. As you can see I modified the boat slightly to not include a back seat and replaced it with a hatch. The process took about 20 months.

Zip by Shane Dickinson, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada October 17, 2008 A few months in and so far the build has went excellent; I have just turned the boat over and now starting the floor. The weather is getting too cold for epoxy so not much more will get done until spring.
