Dear Sirs:
I found the Glen-L Flying Saucer on the Internet in the fall of 1997 and
purchased my plans at Noah's Boat Building Supplies in Toronto. 
I built the boat over the winter in my
garage and launched it at my cottage in Muskoka in June of 1998. I hated
finishing because it was so much fun working on it. You should definitely
promote the scarf joint, it was easy with a belt sander and some saran
wrap.
The boat planes out beautifully with up to 3 adults aboard using a 15 HP
motor. There were a few handling problems at first. Initially I left off the
keel strip and added it last fall. This improved handling at low speed in the
wind. Also, the boat porpoised at speed until I added a lift fin on the
outboard. 
Last fall I stuck on a
small planing step at the stern beside the new keel strip. These changes
basically fixed it up although I would recommend putting the wheel in the front
cockpit rather than the back.
Thank you for a wonderful boat building experience.
Here are some pictures.
