Sun Fish. By Robert W. Nance. The Sun Fish is an unconventional looking cruiserette which weighs only 375 pounds and is powered by an outboard. It can be transported by trailer easily and has accommodations for two persons for overnight trips. The scowtype bow allows to be landed on shelving beaches, which means dry feet for the passengers on embarking. As for speed, the Sun Fish win do 5 m 35 mph. A 5 hp outboard motor will propel Sun Fish about 6 mph while a 10 hp motor win shove the loaded hull with two persons aboard at an 8 mph clip. With speeds of over 16 mph, planing action takes place and speeds of 10 to 35 mph are possible. Construction of Sun Fish is simple. No difficult joinery work is necessary.
