(For Oars or Outboard Motor)
Here is a fisherman's ouitboard boat that has an exceptionally wide range of usefulness. It islight , perfectly adapted for small motors, and handles well with oars--three qualities desired by all fishermen. With a larger motor it becomes a fast runabout and planes nicely. Practically no speed is sacrificed in obtaining its excellent riding quality, and the chop of the waves is cut through with remarkably little bounce. Any motor from 3 to 16 h.p. may be used. With a 9-h.p. motor, speeds up to 25 m.p.h. are easily possible, and 35 m.p.h. with one of 16 h.p. Designed for fishing and all-round use as a family boat, the hull is seaworthy enough for open bodies of water and has plenty of buoyancy for three or four adults. Two men can lift it without difficulty onto a light trailer. Batten-seam construuction prevents leaking no matter how often the boat is dried out.
