Tiny Titan by Harold Seelig
20 February 2008
I was rummaging around the attic today, and found these
photos from the first Glen-L design my Dad and I built.....in
1966. I remember we bought the plans from you all, then
bought the materials locally.
The motor shown was a 5.5 HP evinrude, with a duck boat prop
on it....I borrowed it from a neighbor for the maiden voyage.
As I was working at "Bethesda Boat Center" at the
time, I later got a new 18 Evinrude, and a high pitch brass
prop. Got a bit better than 40 out of that.(45?-that was 42
yrs ago).
Later I put an old Merc Mark 10(?) on it, and it really
zipped. A lot of other folks got a big kick out of it. The
people I sold it to learned to water ski behind it!
