Ted Gauthier built a 14.5 foot wood runabout that was designed by Glen-L. Thursday, July 21, 2011. And the boat he needed to build (because of building space requirements, design, performance and style) was the Glen-L Squirt. He agreed and we both started are builds.

Years ago I built an airplane and the model is a Van's RV-6. Mount exti...
