Designed along the lines of a traditional 1930's runabout with rounded tumblehome to the topsides at the transom, the drawings detail her for construction using computer generated frames/bulkheads, transom and stem. Ribbands are then slotted into the frames and the planking (which may have a ply inner skin) is applied with the ribbands behind the seams. Decking consists of teak strips over ply so that in all respects she has a traditional appearance but uses modern building methods. She has room and strength to carry an engine of up to 125 hp.
