Stylish 16’ cruiser accommodates two comfortably on a weekend boating trip. Unique interior provides space for good-sized double berth and regulation utilities.
This attractively styled little craft was designed as an effort to provide a small cruiser of near-minimum dimensions thta would be suitable for weekend use by a congenial couple. The initial correspondence between the editor and the designer recommended that, if possible, the boat should be designed to accommodate either a pair of outboard motors of not over 40 hp each or one of the new inboard-outboard drive combinations having the same maximum horsepower. The initial sketches for the boat showed a conventional profile of some distinctiveness but with an unconventional arrangement. Optional construction details were also indicated, and these were accepted as the basis for the seven design drawings that accompany this article. These drawings show the alternate construction details.
