Below you can see the article from 1962 Popular Mechanics for building the PM-38.

Started to look for boat plans, I have found Glen-L site, a wonderful place for boat builders.
Have decided to buy the plans for the Dyno Mite because of its convenient size.

Mistake: Dyno Mite is a boat that uses Stitch and Glue method of building. This method uses a lot of resin putty to build the joins instead of creating a nice wooden skeleton that is covered with the plywood.

At this moment in time, I prefer the plywood method of building a boat that is available for the Squirt (on the Glen-L site).

You can see a great blog below where Art Atkinson built his Squirt a few years ago.
