Want an unusual boat? One that escapes the "cookie cutter
plastic boat" syndrome? A craft that draws attention like
steel to a magnet? PUG is that magnet.
PUG is a 13' double ended hull with huge beam powered with
whisper quiet, environmentally friendly electric power. This is
the boat to sneak along the banks of the lake or protected
estuary silently with virtually the only sound being that of the
water lapping the hull. The double ended, vee bottomed hull
parts the water to flow around the hull with virtually a
ripple.
Power can be of two types, either a conventional propeller
shaft with strut and a separate electric DC motor or a modified
ETM (electric trolling motor). Plans for building either are
listed as PUG STANDARD and PUG ETM respectively. The ETM will be
considerably cheaper and easier to install than the conventional
strut/prop shaft system.
The hull can be constructed with the cabin, or the raised
bulwark and cabin omitted and the craft built as an open
runabout.
And PUG is easy to build by the Stitch-n-Glue method, the ideal
construction technique for the neophyte. The procedural
instructions for the Standard version calls out the underwater
gear with source part numbers and an overview of the components
required to use a DC electric motor for power.
The details for converting and installing the trolling motor
are furnished in the included plans for the "ETM Mount
& Bracket".
Stitch-n-Glue and Fiberglass Covering Kits enable the builder
to have necessary materials to build the boat delivered to their
door.
PUG STANDARD
COMPLETE PLANS include PATTERNS for the form, cabin arc and
beams, frames, motor beds, thrust knee, windshield ledge,
bulkhead, side and bottom bow contour and full dimensional
layouts for the side, bottom and bulwarks. Includes procedural
Instructions, Bill of Materials, Fastening and Laminate
schedules, Plywood Layouts, Stitch-n-Glue Manual and detailed
large scale Plans covering virtually all aspects of the
construction.
PUG ETM
COMPLETE PLANS AND PATTERNS as listed above PLUS
Plans and Patterns for the ETM MOUNT & BRACKET that covers
complete details on converting an electric trolling motor to an
inboard configuration with the controls mounted forward at the
helm position.
