DREAMER III. 4 FINE YACHT.
Cruising Power boat Built for Charles w.
Lee n Popular Type.

This is a year OF power boats. Every yard
along the coast and inland has been busy
building craft fitted with g~asolene motors and
the motor manufacturers have been 80 busy
that they have not been able to supply the
demand. Gasolene yachts are popular for
many reasons. They are comparatively
cheap TO build. They are easy to handle and
have no complicated machinery that requires
an eXCert to take care of. The motors take
I'D small space and, consequently. a yachts
man can have more room in a boat OF a given
size than If he had steam engines. They are
economical to run and the motor does not
make the heat that furnaces. boilers and
ST team engines do.
MANY yachtsmen have had small motors
placed in sailing craft. The idea OF this Is 10
be able to make Roadway in fat Gains and
always be sure of getting into port unless the
motor breaks down.
A popular type of yacht though that has
attracted the attention of may yachtsmen
this year is the strictly power boat large
enough to enable the owner to m Ike extensive
cruises in all sorts of weather. The Dreamer
H.. built this winter for Charles w. Lee, is
one of this type and it has been greatly adj
mired since it has been put In commission
