After watching Tally Ho and Arabella coming together on Youtube I decided that I ought to build a boat too. After looking at many plans I came across Glen L Witt’s little Squirt. I loved the design as it had that timeless Chris Craft wooden boat look and it would actually fit in my shop while being built. After reading a few books and magazines on how to build a plywood boat, I got to work. Being retired, I am never in a hurry, so I took my time and finally after two and a half years the little Squirt is finally starting look like a boat. My aim is to get it completed by this year’s Wooden Boat Festival.. As of this writing I have four more coats of varnish to apply, hardware and motor to install and upholstery to complete.
