Hi MM,Thanks, it took me one year and a week from start to launch. I seriously looked at jet ski power, but the durability of the motors was a concern. I'm in the middle of restoring the outboard. It is only 60 years old, and it should last another 60 when I'm done.Look me up on the Glen L forums, I'll be happy to answer any questions.
beauty! would be perfect with a 2cyl looper on it. 40mph and plenty of power for a skier. that little 10hp (cant be an 18?) is great on gas though the 40hp would be similar at cruise.
That thing is fantastic. I may be doing your exact build. I think I may go for the jet drive, though. Thanks from sharing. I hope to be able to contact you for some pointers along the way. How long did this build take you?
Hi Graham, The Glen L Squirt plans are drawn for the boat to be 10' long. Like most of the Glen L designs, you can stretch them up to 10% by re-spacing the formers. Mine is stretched to 10' 10" because it was the longest boat I could build in my basement and still get it up the stairs and make the corner at the top. I did a lot of measuring and 3D drawings to make sure it would fit, and did a test run up the stairs once the hull was solid enough to remove from the forms.
You gotta love the Squirt.

What is the length of this boat?
