Did Glenn ever launch that beautiful boat he was building?

Not yet. He hasn't updated the website for a few years, either.

I view the lack of updates as a good thing... :-)

Last I heard he was all wrapped up in the nitty gritty of getting
systems and sub-systems installed - engine, controls, electrical,
plumbing, pumps, tankage, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum. That turns out
to be about 80% of the effort of course. Everyone thinks that
building the hull is the biggest part of the project but it's not.
Building the hull and deck just leaves you with a big object that
looks like a boat but can't go anywhere.
