| shop on Front street launch for use on inland
waters, which seems to be an ideal one for that
purpose. 1t is Ia feet inches long, feet and
inches wide, and has tunnel stern and wead-
less wheel. The wheel is in tunnel or hol-
low at the stern of the boat so that it is always
submerged. The engine is 3-horsepower Rob-
erts and has Thermax muffier, and with an
| extra large muffier at the stern there should
not be much noise. The engine is in the bow

Access to it is by hatch on hinges. The engine
is controlled and the boat steered from the
