Parti-O - By Frank C. Beeson. This trailerable patio craft that you can build provides semi-sheltered space afloat for summertime recreation for the whole family. You can take the family on luxury cruises entertain friends on weekends, or go on all day fishing trips with this semi-sheltered, floating patio that you can build. It's great, too, as a swimming dock or for sun bathing even for moon light dancing parties on your favorite lake or river. There are no compound curves in the construction and all materials are available from your local lumberyard. Once the basic structure, made up of the lumber, frame and the main plywood panels, has been Completed, you can choose finishing touches and trim from among materials most readily available to you and best suited to your budget. The original Parti-O was outfitted with an 18-hp outboard engine.
