A dry storage area is located in the forward portion of the center hull. The side hulls are foam filled to the level of the self draining cockpit sole. Above the sole, the outer hulls contain fuel and general storage areas. The boat weighs 2000 pounds empty and 3000 pounds loaded. Recommended power is a single outboard, ranging from 45 to 100 hp, which will result in speeds of 20 - 30 knots.
Construction is a blend of wood strips and plywood, with all exposed surfaces glassed.
The hull has been stripped and glassing started. The model faired perfectly, and was used as a plug for laying up a hull mold. Several model hulls have been built for flotation verification and deck design studies. One hull was fitted with a 1.1 hp gasoline engine and radio controlled throttle and rudder. The powered model performed very well, slicing through chop and turning extremely quickly.
