"Scud" will be as much fun to build as to use. Her construction makes maximum use of plywood—which is light, sturdy, and watertight—-yet the hull form is fast and seaworthy. She is as modern looking as any boat in the fleet and suitable for fishing, aquaplaning, or just a fast spin over the water. She was designed to use any outboard motor from 10 to 33 hp. With a 10-hp. motor, she’ll do about 19 m.p.h.; with 22 hp., the speed will go up to 30 m.p.h.; and with 33 hp., she’ll zoom along in the neighborhood of 35 m.p.h. A single, large cockpit is often preferred in a boat generally used for fishing—-it’s slightly more comfortable and much more roomy. If this appeals to you, simply omit the bridge deck.
