"Torpedo" could almost be called a diminutive, peace-purposed PT boat, so unusual and outstanding are its appearance, design and performance. Indeed, in proportion to its size and weight it can outspeed and outmaneuver that most renowned of small combat craft to stem from World War II. Any outboard motor of from 10 to 30 h.p. may be used, and with the more powerful engines "Torpedo's" speed becomes breathtaking. Streamlining above water gives a sleek look and cuts down air resistance, while the non-tripping chines and molded bottom are adapted to plywood construction.
