Economical and easy to build, this tough little craft answers the need for a comfortable cabin boat on a budget.
Anybody who can use the simplest of carpenter's tools can build the Ella-Mae, and make an excellent job of her. The trim lines of the hull with its simple V-bottom give the boat a surprising turn of speed, even with a small motor. The original boat shown in the photographs had a 3 H.P. outboard. Despite her enviable performance and obvious ruggedness, the Ella-Mae is probably easier to build than any other boat of her type. She's ideal for the campiing trip or for ordinary pleasure cruising close to home, and can be built in a fairly short time by the man who gets more fun out of cruising than out of construction. Ella-Mae can float in heavy dew; note the circle on the photograph below; that's grass growing just astern folks!
