: No sparkle to this one.

: The boat is called "The Woodie". It is the only one that exists. It
: is a C-1 squirt boat. It was designed & built last winter by Jim Gross
: in Virginia. I bought it from him a week ago. This is my 3rd C-1 squirt
: (also refered to as "Cquirt"). My first was a 1/2" cut
: Acrobat. 2nd was a master cut Acrobat (I've gone shoulders deep at
: Fascination Alley & consistently chest deep here on the Roanoke in
: that one).

: I've added a link to a photo of a few Cquirts. From the bottom they are
: 3-Acrobats, 3-Mavens & 2-Oxygens. The Viper at the top is a surface
: boat. Last winter there were 3 more new Cquirts designed. The Woodie, the
: Mentor (designed by Adam Pearsall) & the Ceemweaver (designed by Jim
: Snyder).

: There are so few Cquirtist that it would be quite difficult to get training.
: We do have an annual gathering though. A bunch of us that use cboats.net
: get together on the Cheat River in WV to play & swap boats. Jim Snyder
: has shown us a trick or two the last couple of years.

: This is a link to a gallery of photos from last year's Cquirt.

Hi Mike,

Wow a real live squirt boater, I'm in awe

You guys are, you might say, a little bit hard to find. Doesn't help that I'm in Illinois. If I were a little more limber I'd love to try this, being a few years younger wouldn't hurt either

OK, I spent quite a bit of time researching this sport a number of years back, when I stumbled upon my New Wave Sleek and wondered why the stern kept sinking You guys have a skill set that I can only be envious of.

Had no idea there were any wood strip squirt boats, other than plugs.
