Welcome, lots of builders in SW Michigan. Give us shout when you need to flip it!

My boat is still in the water, and I can try to get more if you want more choices.

Something like this?

Thanks for the pictures maybe next year

+1 on the dielectric grease.

I got a some more time on the lake over the holiday weekend. Sadly we started pulling the dock out, but not completely. I did get a couple of photos of the Squirt in it's natural state... 20180903_112827.jpg 20180903_112854.jpg I plan on hauling it out next weekend to display it at the Port Huron bo...

Awesome! I love the seat stitching and overall look. Very Classy.

Enjoy!

Do you have any friends with a boat/outboard that you can borrow a tank and fuel line? I would hate to see a stray ...

Winter is a good time to fix and buff out any flaws, so get going and Splash that boat! Once you get it wet, you'll have to content wit...
