Here is a small craft of moderate price offering two boats in one design, an open runabout and a cruiser for weekend or short cruises. We show one layout as an open boat, and a cabin unit of light weight which can be dropped in place to transform the boat into a cruiser. Hull form is vee bottom with developable surfaces on the sides and bottom so flat plywood sheets can be bent in place. To convert the runabout into a weekend cruiser, the seat backs are hinged to let down and form a double berth, while under the seats are found a stove, galley stores, portable icebox, dishes, etc., and possibly a water closet or bucket under one of the seats. The cabin is a lightweight unit which is easily lowered in place and fastened by several bolts as shown. When the boat is used as an open runabout this cabin unit is kept in a boathouse, garage or other place. The open boat windshield unit is removed before dropping the cabin inplace. Of course the cabin could be built on permanently if desired, but either with or without the cabin this is an attractive boat.
