Squirt
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 10 ft outboard runabout from Glen-L Marine drawn expressly as a first boat, giving thrills on 10 hp or less because it is so light, about 120 lb. Vee-bottomed hard-chine sheet plywood with generous freeboard, which suits younger drivers. Glen-L publish a beam of 4 ft 4 in.
They put the usual load at 1 to 2 people. The hull is a vee bottom hard chine developed for sheet plywood planking. They draw a matching trailer for her. Construction is deliberately simple and cheap. Allow 100 to 180 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Squirt actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
Where the time goes
Hours summed per builder, then the median taken across builders, so someone who logs a step in fourteen short entries doesn’t outweigh someone who logged it in one. Example logs are excluded.
| Step | Median hours | Median spend | Builders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interior & Cockpit | 20.0 | n/a | 1 |
