Classic 15 & Classic 13.5
These are 13.5 & 15 foot boats styled
after the 1940's family runabouts and small inboards so loved
by cottagers on the lakes. The underwater shape is, however,
designed for low power and a stable comfortable ride. Available
as a five passenger two cockpit outboard, or a two cockpit inboard.
Any of the power options are available with the 15 ft. inboard
version. The Classic 13.5 is available with any of the power
options up to 36 volts. Only the Ray Electric outboards have
the look appropriate for the outboard versions. They are built
of strip planked cedar hull and decks, marine ply bulkheads,
hull covered with clear glass and epoxy for ease of maintenance,
and no leaks. All fasteners are of brass, bronze or stainless
steel, as required. Finished with your choice of colour for bottom
paint and your choice of colour/varnish combinations for topsides,
and varnished decks and interior. We only use the highest quality
epoxy paints below the waterline and Epijanes yacht paints and
varnish. Comes with chromed brass windshield frame and plate
windshield in glass or lexan, fifties style bow light, stern
light, wood centred steel steering wheel, Morse steering controls,
four torpedo cleats, flagstaff and Cdn. pennant style flag, bow
and stern eyes for mooring, authentic push/pull light switch,
ammeter, and bilge pump.
With any of the motors the Classic 15 should
have a cruising speed of 5 to 9 kilometres per hour and a range
between charges of 25 to 85 kilometres, depending on the size
of battery bank and speed used. The Classic 13.5 cruises at about
5 to 8 kph. and has a similar range

Power
This boat is powered by inboard style (invisible)
Ray Electric Outboard, or Minn Kota trolling motors. For more
storage space, or if you like to see your motor- the Ray high
thrust electric outboard is the logical choice.
Prices quoted are for the highest quality Exide
golf cart batteries- good for 600 to 1000 cycles. this means
that under conditions of 3 charges a week for 20 weeks per summer
they should last 10 to 15 years or up to 50,000 km. An automatic
charger of the correct voltage is built into the boat. All you
need is an outdoor receptacle with G.F.I. protection, and a good
extension cord to your dock. You need only remove the batteries
(65 lbs. each) when you store your boat for the winter.
The Min Kota motors are of suitable power to
move the boat at hull speed (about 8.5 Kilometres per hour).
If, however you plan to be dealing with strong currents, or winds
I would recommend one
the higher thrust motors. Speed and forward/reverse controls
are dash mounted.
The Ray motors are built for serious thrust
demands and are built to last a lifetime. They are also rated
more conservatively, so their power is probably closer to what
you could expect. Speed and forward/reverse controls as well
as a battery condition meter are dash mounted.
