If you only seek a comfy 20 mph, a flatter wheel (prop) may be all you really need with a 20 hp. I do leaps and bounds to get my own 13', 25hp speeder to be faster than most 40/50 hp runabouts,fer instance. Simple things, well, not so simple really, like fairing the bottom, sharpening the trailing edge radius, power trim, can add 20 percent to speed as good as 10/15 more horsepower. Lets see what the bottom sheathing is ? An old stripper should take being sheathed nicely. There is a buncha amateurish lookin stuff there,I mean corny/campy. Ī new 4 cycle 30 I think would be perfect. Modern motors are indeed heavier, but have power trim and better props. There was no 40 hp until 1956, and the shape of boats changed quickly, round bilges just about disappearing on planing boats. I've attached a few pictures, thank you in advanced for you help! Unfortunately it looks like these outboards are on back order but I want to make sure to invest in the right one. I was thinking 30-40 HP short shaft (15") but want to make sure this will get me on plane (~15-20mph) but won't be too heavy for the transom. It is 13.5' from transom to bow, transom height is 16.25" and made of mahogany and teak 4 people can easily lift it and flip it over (which we just did as I'm now working on the hull). There's no model number, or markings.I don't even know the make but I was hoping you guys could help me determine which outboard would fit best. I'm hoping to keep it as original as possible. I build furniture and have a nice woodshop so I figured I'd give the rebuild a try. It most likely hasn't seen the water in 30 years but has very little rot. I came across a 1950's wooden runabout in an old garage which I obviously had to buy on the spot. Please check there first.Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and to the wooden boat world in general but very enthusiastic.

Plans are on 6 sheets, including lines, original construction, cold molded construction, and details. Lofting is required, but this is not a difficult set of lines to lay down. For those who would prefer cold molding, a construction sheet is included for this method. Glued strip planking over frames sawn from natural Madeira root knees was the original construction, but most builders today will probably find it easier to laminate their frames.
Construction is robust but simple and clean, making these boats easy to maintain and long lived. The lines show a moderate deadrise of 15 degrees with a fine entry, producing an easy ride even in the short, steep chop common in the shallow waters of the Bahamas. These plans represent what Willard Albury considers to be his optimal boat, the best of over 250 individual boats.ĭoug Hylan has drawn a set of plans that not only documents the construction of these fine boats, but makes it possible for other builders to enjoy their good qualities. For almost 40 years Willard and Benny Albury have been producing fine outboard runabouts that have earned a reputation as smooth riding, seaworthy, rugged boats, capable of excellent speed with modest horsepower. For generations, this family has turned out hundreds of boats, from dinghies to schooners, from their building sheds on Man O’ War Cay. In the northern Bahamas, the Albury name is synonymous with boatbuilding.
