Completed my Squirt project this past weekend. Started in January. It took me over 150 hours and numerous trips to Home Depot for more tools and supplies.

Still requires an inspection, title and registration. Hope to launch in early May.

Appreciate the info and feedback I got on the Glen-L.com Boatbuilder Connection each step of the way.

Very nice Squirt. Your fleet is growing nicely!

The finish has a nice satin look to it in the pictures. What did you use on it?

Wow! Nice looking Squirt!, you are going to love this boat. It's easy to launch, easy to drive, and easy to dock. The lines and simplicity of your build are beautiful. Have fun with it, this summer!!

VuPilot-I used Miniwax Helmsman Spar Urethane (water-based), waited a week and then used Minimax Polish and Wax. I was too impatient to let the varnish cure for an entire month to rub out the finish the traditional way.
