If you’re a speed enthusiast who wants high standards of performance from a boat that has the comforts and appearance of the smartest custom runabOut, Mucho Gusto is the answer to your prayers. For thrilling jaunts with another passenger, or for towing a single aquaplane or water skier, Mucho Gusto is your baby. Mucho Gusto is also economical to build and operate. It is a plywood-planked craft, constructed of universally available lumber, and is powered with an engine in the 25-to-45 hp range. The engine shown on the drawings is the standard 2:1 reduction gear Crosley which delivers 25 hp at about 4800 rpm’s. And by addition of Braje or other hop-up accessories, it can put out about 40 hp on normal fuel. Can’t you picture yourself behind that wheel, doing figure 8’s off the club anchorage, or out in the lake with the after lifting eye doing double duty as a towing cleat for a water skier astern? Better still, picture that same skier waving to the boys on the dock as you skim by! You’ll need little more than that to sell yourself on the idea.
