#5549--BUILDING BUDDY : A 13-Foot Utility Boat
"Buddy", a general utility boat, was designed to meet the greatest possible variety of purposes and to serve each one well. With an over-all length of 13 feet and a generous beam of 56 inches, the hull seats three or four passengers and performs with stability and seaworthiness in rough or smooth water. Outboard motors from 1 to 6 hp. will propel this craft speedily and economically, while rowing it is easy. For those who love sailing, “Buddy” may be rigged as a sailboat and it will perform comparably with regulation sailing craft.  The construction requires marine plywood, making the boat easy to build, inexpensive, and producing a craft that is light in weight, easily transported and permanently leakproof under all conditions.
