a 13' electric powered double ender

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.
