The Flyer Midget runabout is a unique design that shouid fill a long standing need. It is only ten feet long; and the bottom design and weight balance of this little boat is such that it will actually plane with outboard motors so small they are hardly ever considered in relation to speed. The many small motors in the five-to-ten horsepower range can be used successfully on this boat. Because of the hydroplane design a very maximum of speed is obtained from these motors, often much more than their owners thought them capable of. A sixteen horsepower motor is the largest size recommended. Like all Flyer designs, simplicity of construction is stressed. The stem, for example, is the simple racing boat style. The total weight runs about one hundred and twenty-five pounds. The roadster cockpit is built to accommodate two persons. Here is a chance to get some revs out of a fishing motor. The ease of construction, low building cost and speed possibilities of the boat make it a wonderful addition to the family of any boatman who has a small outboard motor.
