Malahini Runabout by Bob Brandenstein

Bob brought his Malahini to the 2012 (G6) Gathering of Boatbuilders and it was really a hit. This was Bob and his wife's first time at our event and we really enjoyed getting to know them. Ted Gauthier interviews Bob today and once again did a great job.

When I rode in Bob's boat, I noticed some neat details that he had incorporated so I took photos of them. After you watch the video, take a look below at some of these features. That's what's so great about building your own boat--you can really customize it the way you want! Enjoy...

Very nice dash with beautiful inlays.

Bob's wife wanted a place to put trash and other stuff so the boat wouldn't get cluttered

Here's a top-view of the "trash bin" being opened.

Here's one bin wide open--nice idea! Clutter-free boat is good!

The cup holder seems to be a standard on most Glen-L boats!
