Outdoors Can Be Fun And A Small Boat HELPS

Sometimes there is nothing quite
as nice as a boat, as anyone who
has been marooned on an island
can tell you.
But quite aside from the fact
that boat beats walking where
water is concerned, a small boat
is just about essential if you want
to get the most fun out of a lake
shore vacation.
Without one, your fishing will be
confined to the shore or the pier,
which means that especially dur
ing the hot days of late summer
you won't be able to follow those
big ones out into the cooler depths.
Your swimming, particularly if
there are daredevils in the family,
will lack a valuable safeguard.
And your scenic tours about your
vacation abode will lack the view
point of looking in on those shor-
lines as well as out from them.
The vacationer will find that
most inland boat iveries chiefly
offer rowboats IL to IA feet long.
The smaller will handle three adult
passengers, the larger four-and
that's plenty. # the boat doesn't
carry bouyant cushions or a life
jacket, bring your own because
you never know when one of the
children is going to decide to get
out thinking he can walk home.
The small boats vary consider
ably in design, from the fiat bot
toned, broad and relatively heavy
boats common in the lake states,
the narrow, flared "john" boats of
the middle South and fast-water
stream country. They may be
made of boards, or cedar strips or
cypress.
Newer, combination type small
boats designed for use with a small
cupboard motor usually are easier
rowing too. They may be made of
plywood or metal but you won't
see them so frequently in rental
hverieS because they're relatively
expensive.
If you plan to buy boat, though,
they're worth it. Many have car
top or small trailer accessories so
you can take your boat with you
easily and thus have deluxe boat.
ing wherever you CO., whether for
weeks or weekend. A 12-foot ply
wood or aluminium craft may be as
light as IS pounds or so-some
special models lighter-and manu-
faeturers give you a price range
of from 500 to $3.50. With care,
a plywood boat will last for years,
and an aluminium one indefinitely.
Cupboard motors are another
thing. Many fishermen would
ratner own their motor, which they |
can carry in their auto trunk, and
rent boats wherever they stop. 1t
may cost them as much in the long
rum. but it gives them the advant-
age of knowing how dependable
their motive power is.
Anyone considering this kind of
a project should limit himself to
motors of five horsepower or less, |
because few rental rowboats will
stand up under any more. Three
and one-half is a popular size, and
there are a number of lightweight, |
really portable models. Costs
range from around 500 to about |
5000 for these sizes.-AP.

They proved themselves equal
