AUTOMOBILE BOATS TO BE A FAD

Automobile boats are going to be
the reignins fad among owners of
small yachts this coming season, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. In fact, take
yachting and boating as a whole. and
1t is safe to predict that the tUtO boats,
as they are now popularly called, will
demand the largest share of attention
of anything afoat in the way of pleas
ure craft
In its choice of name the recently
organized American Power Boat Asso-
citation clearly showed that it intended
no discrimination against any boat
driven by artificial means. So steam
and naphtha boats are eligible to any
races held under the auspices OF the
association, complying, of course, with
different restrictions regarding length
but with the high speed that auto
boats are capable of making it is not
likely that the old-style boats will fig
ure very prominently as candidates for
racing honors.
While all Of these boats are power
boats, they are not all motor boats,
for, as the name suggests, motor boats
are those driven by a motOr-it may
be the old-style heavy marine motor.

Up-to-date Cruising Class

make close to twenty-four miles an
hour. Plans for boat to cost about
$25, 900 were made last season, and
this boat is expected to be promi-
nent competitor in many Of the big
races near by during the season. The
boat will be seventy feet long, and
will be fitted with two French-made
motors of 1870 horse power each. 1t is
expected that this boat will make
twenty-five knots an hour. OF course
a boat of this size will be a miniature
pleasure yacht. with all the character
istics Of yacht designed both for en-
joyment and speed. The automobile
boats, however. of seventy feet length
or over, will not be numerous but a
few novel cruising yachts Of this class
are being built that will be even
larger.
The few cases cited are, of course,
exceptional, and no one need think
that because thousands Of dollars are
spent for specially constructed auto
mobile boats, that the boats them
selves are expensive luXuries. Like
automobiles. they come at all prices,

81 60 an hour to propel a 100-horse
power automobile boat This is an
unusual power, and would only be
employed in a veritable racer. but a
few boats Of even greater than 100
horsepower are being built for the
coming season.
The popular sizes for automobile
boats are from twenty-five to fifty
feet. and large number CT new boats
of thirty-five and forty foot lengths
will be seen in the waters around New
York this year. Boats Of this size,
equipped with suitable horse power,
not excessive as intended for speed
alone, but adapted to general cruising
purposes and yet capable of making
good time, will cost from $4,000 to
Sc 1000, while if the boat is built for
speed, which requires special design
ing lightness and yet stability of
build and extensive motors of very
high power. the cost can be jumped
up to $4,000 and even over. The
auto boat recently built for II. II.

They were worked up by Charlotte

motor. Without going into the techni-
cal differences, the motor boats dis
pense with tie necessity of the some
what clumsy boiler, thus simplifying
many of the details of navigation. The
third and last distinction comes in the
latest term for boat-the auto boat.
All auto boats are motor boats, but the
distinction that places auto boats in
class by themselves is the fact that
they are supplied with regular auto
mobile motors. In the few that have
been built here. and in the larger num-
Der that are being turned our for use
this season, the motor is identically
the same as is used in automobiles
The same method of propulsion as is
used in the horseless vehicles on the
street is now being adapted to water
craft. For racing purposes the few
evidences that have been given indi-
cate that the same success is in store
for auto boats as has been won by au-
tomobiles, the ability to beat anything
that has ever tried for high speed at
various distances.
The term auto boat, from the fact.
probably, that the most notable auto
mobile boats have been supplied with
motors of high horse power designed
for racing purposes, has come to sig
nifty a racing motor boat, but in the
growing popularity for this class of
boats the racing feature will gradually
cease to be the predominatng charac-
teristic of the boat. Just as in autOmo-
bles, the mere possession of one by
no means implies that the owner has
purchased it for racing purposes.
One prime reason for the growing
popularity of these boats fitted with
automobile motors, whether they be of
small or Of high horse power is their
greater simplicity of management
over the old-style power boats Less
room is needed. in one place, for the
mechanism. Although gasoline, which
is virtually the same as naphtha, is
used as the fuel to generate the pro-
pelling power, a small amount is re-
quired SO that the weight of the boat
obtaining, at the same time, more
room for carrying capacity, if required.
There is no boiler to trouble the
amateur engineer, and the other an
noyances attendant upon the proper
care Of boiler are obviated. With
the wheel or steering gear in front Of
the boat, and the motor in the rear,
one man can manage the little launch
all day. if necessary, just as soon as
the motor is set going. BY turning off
the power the boat stops and no fur
ther attention need be paid to the mo-
tor until it is time to start the boat
5 again.
1t would require too much technical
description to attempt scientific ex-
planation of the motor propulsion, but
on the automobile boat the gasoline is
sprayed into the cylinder by an ato-
mizer and explodes by an electric
spark About one drop of gasoline is
used for each explosion. The popular
motors for the ordinary pleasure craft

can be accomplished by the laborious
method of polling or that which may
be given by transient zephyrs, which
by their suggestion of a breeze simply
add to the miseries of the continued
calm. Not only for pleasure, but tor
business purposes, are motors IN
small sailboats being recognized as a
genuine boon. Many of the small fish
ermen around BuzZards Bay and Mar
tha's Vineyard and in other localities
along the sound have recently placed
small motors in their boats, for they
find that it often saves them the loss
of their fish. as well as giving them
the quick market in the ability to
reach port without relying upon the
fickleness of the wind. Naphtha
launches also have been remodeled
into motor boats. a change that is
easily accomplished in the naphtha
launch. as it conforms in every feature
to the pleasure-bu.t motor boat.
The greatest novelties in these auto
mobile boats will be found in those
designed for fast speed, and several
The offer of a challenge cup by the
American Power Boat Association for
boats from twenty-five to thirty five
feet long has given decided impetus
to the building OF fast auto boats, and
the records that were made last year
both in thi- country and abroad, lndl-
cate what may be expected in the
direction of fast time on the water
with this popular style of small craft.
OF course, for racing everything is
sacrificed to speed. The passenger
capacity is limited, and the boat is
built Of the lightest possible materials.
1t is in fact. a narrow, sharp bOatlike
shell, propelled by an engine of great
power. These boats have been aptly
called torpedo-shaped because they
look something like the regulation tor
pedo boats. Many of the designs run
to an absolute wedge, with the prov
as sharp as a knife, and the widest
part of the boat at the stern. They
are practically fat on the keel and
some of the fiftyfoot length boats will
draw but nine inches of water. They
virtually skim over the surface of
the water and when meeting a wave
plunge right through it. In stiff race,
therefore, the occupants are constant
ly wet with the spray that is thrown
out from the sharppOinted bow.

are the two-cycle and four-cycle mo-
tors. In the four-cycle motors there
is an explosion to every two revolu-
tions, while in two-cyce motor there
is an explosion with every revolution.
In the four-cycle motor the exhaust
follows the explosion and the cylinder
is emptied of the old charge before the
new one is injected, but in the two
cycle motor the old charge Is exhaust
ed on one side while the new one is
being injected on the other. This
sometimes results in leaving a part
of the old charge in the cylinder, while
