There's good money to be made in the renting of boats, providing you own the type of boat that meets the needs of a majority of the boating public. Here is a sturdy, dependable livery scooter that’s ideal for fishermen and small family outings. It can be powered by a small, air-cooled inboard motor such as the 1¾ or 2 hp U.S. Motors Corp., Clinton, Briggs, etc.) which costs little and will operate all day long at 5 to 10 mph on a minimum of fuel. You’ll find that a fleet of these serviceable scooters is easy to build and may provide you with a profitable boat rental business. In constructing this scooter, if you keep plywood patterns of everything, you can use them over again to help you build as many of these boats as you think youcan use.
