Description
The 16' Bourne runabout is partly based on the Egret but with a forward raking transom and a fair amount of tumblehome in the aft quarters. She uses the same ply skin over a slotted together ply framework but the tumblehome area is planked using diagonal layers of plywood. The hull can be veneered to simulate planking or left as a plywood hull. There is also no reason why she could not be strip planked too.
Initially she is set up to use a Torquedo 2 electric outboard in a well but she should also take an inboard electric motor and a conventional rudder system. Seating is for 6
