Squirt Horsepower

(Dan Thomas) wrote in message . com...
Has anyone here had experience with the Glen-L Squirt? My son and I
are building one and are getting to the point where we need to find an
outboard. The plans call for 10 HP max, which I believe is a
cover-your-butt recommendation, as the Squirt plans from the 70s
called for 20 HP. If it's going to haul the two of us, totalling 320
lb or so, I don't believe ten horses will get any respect at all.
Any input is welcomed. I did a Google search on the subject
without much success.

Listen to Greg on this one. As far as the ratings changing, that has a
lot to do with the USCG calculations which were probably developed
long after the boat was origionally designed. Glen-L is doing the
right thing if they changed the rating on the plan to react to these
changes. The point however is, if I had the boat, I would run the
larger engine. I have a Bolger boat called Skimmer,
