Blackbird Outboard Cruiser
Has anybody got any info and/or pictures/drawings of Bolger's 24' x
8' "Blackbird" outboard Cruiser.I think he designed it for Ken
Basset of Onion Creek Boatworks who built it(I think for
himself).I've only seen 1 small picture of it in an old Wooden Boat
magazine.Its probably Cold Molded or Strip-Plank construction and I
think it was powered with a 50HP outboard with a top speed of around
18 Knots and a reasonably economical cruising speed of about 12 Kts.
I'm quite interested in this design so if anyone has any info or
pictures I'd much appreciate seeing them.
