Rescue Minor
This "tunnel boat" is real interesting "In case you have never read about the boat, I?ll give you the specs: It is twenty feet long and 76" wide. It is strip built out of tulip poplar and is powered by a three cylinder Kubota Diesel tractor engine rated at 20 hp. It will run 20 knots in six inches of water and gets about 28.6 nautical miles per gallon of Diesel fuel running at its most economical speed of 10.5 knots." http://robbwhite.com/rescue.minor.html Tolman started one, but look like he retired before he finished it. http://www.fishyfish.com/renn_tolman/index.html Seems a boat like this could be mass-produced in glass and find a market with today's gas prices. But maybe not. --Vic |
