Flight
Flight is a speedy outboard runabout cruiser whose construction is brought within the scope of the amateur builder by the simple application of marine plywood planking. The benefits of plywaod make this cruiser sturdy and useful for rugged cruising, fishing, inland commuting or as a workboat. Flight is 19' 6" long, with a 66" beam and very slight hull draft, The cockpit aft is amply large and roomy for fishing activities as well as for several folding type deck chairs. Additional room inboard is the result of having the motor outboard. A four-cylinder Elto Quad will drive Flight at a cruising speed of 25-30 miles an hour. A less expensive two-cylinder outboard is perfectly adaptable to Flight to acquire 15-20 miles an hour speeds, Space for the reserve supply gas tank and for the storage battery (for lighting purposes) is under the after deck, just behind the cockpit.
