2019 Glen Lewis Custom Custom

Step aboard and you’ll notice how quiet this hull feels underway; the heavy laminate schedule and careful sound insulation give Patience a calm, solid motion that invites long days on the water. The pilothouse sightlines are excellent, with generous glass and thoughtfully placed wipers that keep watch-keeping relaxed in foul weather. Wide side decks and secure handholds make line handling and anchoring feel safe, even when you’re shorthanded. Inside, the joinery isn’t just attractive—it’s practical, with radiused corners, secure latches, and systems access that a hands-on owner will appreciate. Tankage and systems layout were clearly planned for long gaps between marinas, making this a boat you can genuinely live aboard, not just visit on weekends.

A custom pilothouse trawler like this shines in waters where conditions can swing from flat calm to steep chop in a single afternoon. The hull form, protected running gear, and stout construction give you confidence when tides, currents, and weather all conspire at once. The raised pilothouse keeps you warm and dry while offering a commanding view for navigating tight passes and busy shipping lanes. Efficient single-diesel propulsion and generous fuel capacity make slow, economical passages realistic, even when the next harbor is a long run away. Add in easy deck access and a comfortable interior, and you’ve got a capable home base for exploring remote anchorages and shoulder-season cruising.
