TRY IMPOSSIBLE
FOR MOTOR BOATS?
Were Never Intended for
Ocean Work.
GOULD NOT CARRY FUEL
Widely Differing Estimates Of Gasolene
Reouired-President Ketcham
Thinks It Possible.
COULD NOT CARRY FUEL

NEW YORK. Sept. AN. Charley 5
offer Of a $4,000 prize to the owner Of
the first motor boat TO cross the Atlantic
from Havre to New York has aroused
much interest here.
The offer was widely discussed in au-
tomobile and boat circles, and the gen
eraI opinion seemed 10 be that as at
present constructed motor boats are not
sufficiently seaworthy 10 undertake an
ocean voyage. The problem Of carrying
the gasolene required for so long a trip
was considered by many persons as al
most insurmountable.
on two points those who discussed the
matter were pretty well agreed One
was that a boat capable of standing
the voyage and OF holding the fuel re-
ouired would need 10 be specially de-
signed for the purpose The other was
that NJ Charley's offer ought TO have
been open 10 craft travelling in either
direction so as 20 give an opportunity TO
American ingenuity 10 try for the prize.
W. II. Ketcham, president Of he
American Power Boat Association.
thought IL quite possible 10 construct a
boat capable OF ocean travel
Ketchan Optimistic.
II don't see why motor boat could
not make an ocean trip" he said. If a
dory can cross under sail, as has been
done. the risk as concerns the size OF
the boat Is eliminated The only ques-
ton is whether motor boat can carry
sufficient fuel 20 last for so long a jour
ney. I should think the trip could be
made In about twelve 10 fourteen days
Figuring on a twenty horsepower mo-
tor. the amount Of gasolene 20 be- car
ried would be about COO gallons. This,
however, need not be difficult, as a boat
10 be seaworthy should have accommo-
dation for that amount. As the tanks
become emptied Of gasolene they will act
as air tanks I wish NJ Charley had
