a 15' outboard mini-cruiser
CRUISETTE is a minature cruiser, capable of filling many needs. She has built-in berths for the camper or overnight cruising man. She has cockpit space for the fisherman, and yet cabin protection from the unexpected squall. And, she has the ability to be a good ski boat as well. The hull is both fast and smooth. You'll appreciate the dry, level ride, and the generous beam gives exceptional safety and load-carrying ability.
The construction of the CRUISETTE is simple for the amateur, but sturdy, and costs are low. And because of the compact size, you can trailer the boat easily to any body of water.
COMPLETE PLANS include FULL SIZE PATTERNS for stem, breasthook, transom knee, and half-section patterns for the frames and transom. Includes instructions, Bill of materials and fastening schedule.

So, Peyton and I went out last Friday thru Sunday and the Mini Hemi performed beautifully. The bilge pumps never kicked on and she did quite well in some very chopping water on Sunday

Here are a few pictures of my Cruisette. This is a great little boat that gets many compliments both in and out of the water. We have it powered by a 1957 Evinrude Lark 35 Hp outboard.
