A speedy two-cockpit outboard runabout for towing water skiers and family boating. Its hi-lift bottom and longitudinal-beam frame let a 16 hp Evinrude outrun boats with 25 hp, and it hit 50 mph with a 40 hp Mercury. No building form is needed, which makes it ideal for backyard builders or small-scale production.
