Fast, safe and comfortable is the “Torpedo”—a distinctive runabout that skims over the water at race-boat speeds and carries four passengers in a capacious hull that will remain leakproof and light in weight during a lifetime of usage. Marine plywood is used to cover the sides, bottom and deck, and besides dispensing with considerable labor in construction, the use of this material provides a boat that is strong and inexpensive to build and run. If the larger outboard motors from 10 hp. up are used, high speeds with economy of operation will result with lower fuel cost per mile due to the highly efficient planing action of the hull. This runabout, with speeds rivaling any racing hull, is not necessarily confined to such usage. Its commodious accommodations permit it to be used as a day cruising craft afloat, comparable to the auto ashore.
