: I am a tall, rather gangly paddler (L=34, Size 12 dawgs), who can't seem to
: fit in any of the commercially produced squirt boats, and so I am thinking
: of building my own. Does anyone have book/magazine recommendations for
: this type of project?
: thanks

Here's what I did (just cause I don't see too many squirts to try out here). The 3rd and 4th boats are more squirt like, but I don't have pictures yet. If you would like to try this let me know I can help with creating offsets.
Check out this site for some pictures of jerry in action.

Or as .tim mentioned you will fit a bigfoot.
