  1930's Runabout Model Boat
measures: 16"L
What the snappy sports roadster is to the automobile world, the inboard runabout
is to power-boating. The speed, dash, and color that make the roadster popular
ashore contribute likewise to the attractiveness of its maritime counterpart.
Names like Chris Craft, Lyman, Riva, Garwood, Hacker, and Century were commonplace
on the lakes and rivers from the 1930's - 1950's.
Classy and practical, there is more to the runabout than zip and speed. With
these essentials go the complementary virtues of staunchness, dependability,
and comfort. Because of the very nature of the duties imposed upon them, runabouts
have to be a combination of sound design, ruggedly built hull, and fast, reliable
engine. Standard inboard runabouts, better known to the layman as speedboats,
range in length from 16 to 33 feet in length. Typically they could travel at
25 to 60 mph, depending on size load, and engine.
They are clean lined, appealing boats of varnished Mahogany and chrome plated
fittings and trim. Glass shields protect the occupants from wind and spray.
Soft leather upholstered cushions make the ride comfortable. This type of boat
is designed for easy riding and sharp, safe turning. They just get up on the
water and go. They are as simple to handle and operate as an automobile. Surely
the boat-builders art holds no finer examples than these smart, handy, serviceable
water "roadsters".
