Minimax (?) 12' plywood runabout
by Dave
(Shelby Township, Michigan, USA)
Is this a Minimax?
I built this 12' flat bottom plywood runabout from Popular Mechanics plans in my senior year of high school, 1964.
I'm looking for copies or photos of the plans and the magazine cover if anyone has more information about it.
I think it was called the Minimax modified hydroplane, but when I search that I don't find this boat's shape and style.
Want to add more photos?
