A substantial design and building description for a heavy duty runabout able to go out to sea with ease
Designed by Chester A. Nedwidek
This runabout which was designed for real service such as fishing in open waters. From her lines it will be seen than she has plenty of displacement and is not just sitting on top of the water as the usual speed type of runabouts are. Straight V sections to simplify the building as much as possible and plenty of freeboard to make her a good seaboat. The plans of Shark show a boat that is twenty-three feet over-all, twenty-two feet one and three-quarters inches water line, six feet six inches beam and two feet draft. The lower sheer line is a straight line running from a height at the stem of twenty-seven inches above the designed load water line to a height of twenty-one inches at the transom, the upper sheer is comprised of two straight lines, with a break at station 10, the upper plank between these sheer lines if made of mahogany and finished bright will give a very snappy appearance to the entire job, the sheer moulding should also be of mahogany.
