<p> June 2013 </p><p> Thank you so much for the support you have provided over the past few weeks. It\'s nice to know that Glen L/Gayle will be there when the questions arise. </p><p> I am having a great time with the Spartan. It has been challenging, and a test of my wood-working skills. Since my father raced his C-class hydro, \"Sea Swede\", in the 1950\'s, I am building this as a tribute to him. I know he is watching over me from the big course in the sky. </p>

Nov 2, 2007 <p></p> Here are a few construction and operating pictures of our new boat, which we named \"Retro Rocket\". It\'s the Glen-L \"Super Spartan\", a fun project without much required in the way of materials, because it\'s designed to be very light weight. I found a mid-60\'s Merc200 for power and that\'s plenty of push to rocket the boat around with two kids on board. When I took the pictures in the water I had not converted the motor to remote throttle, so my son is actually working the throttle while his buddy steers. Even with two little boys on board, the boat is very fast and stable. <p></p> Regards, Rob Sortirin Mound, Minnesota
