We take pleasure Ill recommending
our boats, as their construction is the
result of years of study and labor in
building, and handling boats around
our various island landings. We claim
these boats TO be superior for islani use
to Others, (either built here or imported)
in several essential points, and we are
supper iedin this opinion by those who
have usedthem, as well as by others who
alc qualified to Judge. They are built for
use and durability, and not with the
view of having the benefit of future re-
pairs. We use no cross grained and
useless Monkey Pod knees, timbers, or
floors, nor straight wood stems Our
frames are. all . * bent across without
a joint on the keel, and Of size, larger
than usual in other boats, they are also
CLOSER together, and double rivited to
the keel with additional floors between.
We have applied both strain and blows
to these steam bent timbers and find
that they are equivalent to the so called
solid floors of twice the size, and are
consequently less liable to be severely
bilged and are easier repaired when it
occurs. The gunwales are of Oak, and
with the outside planking are invariably
in one plank from stern to stem The
hOisting strap does not 80 through the
keel, cutting it away AT Il vital point,
but toggled under Il rewbOlt fastened
dead wood, and hinged above so as to
accommodate the span of hoist. The
timbers are not cut away for water runs,
our limbers are in the keel. We have
also II solid wide iron plate on the keel
and stems of the boat which have secur-
ed for these boats their well deserved
reputation for superior build. The
model also compares favorably with
our best imported boat, carrying
their width on the thwart. and
not on the gunwale rs crank boats do,
taking all the chafe and pounding
against vessels and wharf, when dis
charging. Our bent Oak knees also
carry out the requirements of the oldest
and most experienced association known
who for 40 years have spared neither
time nor money 10 pfoCt;f. the best surf
and life boats, wherever found. During
the test of 1881, fleXibility in boats. was
found to be most essential. The rela ion
these knees bear to the jointless section
timbers and to the boat herself when Sc
verely struck, to prevent IA damaging
| conclusion or any damage, can be read
lily seen. This quality cannot be found
in boats sttfly held in one place, and
| loose in another. Several naval Cap
tains and Officers who have inspected
| this system pronounce it Il great i'm
provement over the old, as Il preventive
from being stove in or bilged alongside
when being lowered at sea, as many
have been known to do the short floors
and timber ends lifting from the keel.
An other improvement, is that we sell
these boats for $50 less than was form
erly paid for this size boat here, and
it pays the builder and buyer better.

kegs, oars and rOwlocks, anchor and

works second to none in our waters.
She was built for pleasure with safety,
to sail on her bottom, without packing
around tons of ballast. Can be rugged
and sail made in 10 minutes, and unrig-
ged in five. Price $275.
We are also prepared to give plans
and estimates of all kinds of scows,
rowing, surf or sail boats, steam laun-
ches, or schooners, in solid, bent frame,
OF diagonal building. Our experience
in the latter mode dates from 1854, when
the celebrated yachts "FoX'' and others
I.,tlf it,f fl,nt Ii;
severely tried in the Arctic for years
search of Sir John Franklin. This mode
of building is highly recommended
where inside finish and capacity is an
object. We invite inspection of our
boats at the Enterprise Planning Mill,
where samples may be found.
