![]() Our stock plans – all done under the discerning eye and experienced hand of our designers – feature TRUE AUTHENTIC STYLING that accurately emulates award-winning restorations you’ve seen at classic boat shows. ![]() My GPS shows 48mph before I get scared of pushing it anymore yet there is still throttle left.If you want a mahogany runabout that replicates boats of yesteryear, but don’t want to pay the high price for a production rendition or restored antique, why not build it yourself? We ARE the source! We’ve got the BEST designs and the BEST selection. I streched the hull to 11'8" and put a salvaged Kawasaki 750 SXI jet system in it. "This was a fun project and a more fun toy as you can see from the video (link above). Jet Powered Squirt built by David Streeter: Click here to watch on Glen-L's YouTube Channel.Note: This modification isn't provided in the plans-see our Forum for modification information: Glen-L Forum I've never been one to accept praise for the things I've done, but the comments I've received from the many people who've seen it sure makes the time spent in the shop all worth it." Rich Stabler - Poulsbo, WA First, if you're after a specific look, add 25% to the build time and 50% to the cost. This being my first attempt at building a boat, I've learned a lot along the way. A few sea trials to get the motor running the way I want it and I'm having a BLAST. "Well it's been about 14 months build time, gathering materials along the way from ebay and the great people at the local West Marine store. If I had a dime for every time someone came up and commented on how "cute" it looked, or asked me "what kind of boat is that?" Never in my life have I taken on a project that has given me more of a sense of accomplishment." Matt Holmes - Auburn, WA The ride is nice and smooth and dry with zero porpoising or other wierd behaviors, and even on relatively choppy water, cavitation was minimal. It exceeded my expectations in almost every way. "Just got the boat in the water last weekend for the first time. I cannot wait for summer!!!!!!!!" -Bob Lemay Not a drop of water in the boat, no porpoising, no cavitation, no bow rise, no sliding, just a true straight incredible ride. It was though, one of the coolest rides I've ever taken in any vehicle. This boat is like a rocket! When my wife pushed me off of the dock, I didn't waste a second nailing that throttle, and I'll tell you, I was on plane doing at least 30-35 in a split second! It pushed me back in that seat, like a turbo charged car! There was considerable chop today, and it was kinda cold, so I didn't push it for very long. Squirt Builders Speak Out: "HO-LE-COW, What a boat!!!! I just came back up from her first launch and ride, and all I can say is WHAT A BLAST!!!. If you want the utmost in performance with a minimum of cost and power, this little speedster may well be your best choice. As economy is always of prime importance on a small boat, the cost is kept to a minimum by the judicious use of materials. We have taken special care in designing this boat as it is most often a "first boat". The combination of smaller horsepower requirement and generous freeboard makes this a good boat for the younger set. Since the motor is normally the major expense on a small boat, her "thrill without horsepower" makes SQUIRT an ideal boat for the builder on a budget. ![]() Traveling at even modest speed in a boat of this size can be a thrilling experience. This little boat will move out quicker with less horsepower than the average production boat because of the lightweight construction. But don't let her size fool you she offers a lot in her short length. The SQUIRT is a small runabout for the young at heart.
