Description
This craft is a widened and a more sophisticated version of our Power 2 design. The bottom panel has been slightly veed to give a softer ride and her depth has been increased. This along with her wider beam enables her to be fitted out with a more extensive cabin structure and with larger tanks etc. Construction starts by assembling the frames and the transom onto the ply girder (backbone). The builder may then attach chine stringers to the frames and fit the hull panels oversize (to be trimmed later) use the panel shapes given on the drawings and stitch their edges together along the chines, later to be finished with epoxy filleting.
The drawings show the full hull construction and details of a wheelhouse and forward cabin which may be altered to suit the builder's own requirements. Engines may be mounted aft or in a conventional drive position depending on how the boat is to be fitted out. Her hull shape has a parallel section aft which allows her to be lengthened or shortened as required. 7 sheets of 12mm and 12 sheets of 9mm ply are used in the construction of the basic hull.
