We at Dumas are pleased to be able
to take you back to an era of elegance. In 1946 Sparkman and Stevens
designed a 66 ft. commuter boat for the express purpose of carrying
commuters down the Hudson River into New York. What a glorious way to beat
the traffic. These commuters were used by their owners as everyday
transportation to and from work, and for pleasure trips to their favorite
spots. The most famous of these commuters was the Dauntless. The Dauntless
was owned by a prominent New York family. They undoubtedly considered the
Dauntless a great diversion from their day to day business dealings. The
days of the Dauntless are gone but you can bring them back. The Dauntless
features top quality construction materials. The kit is made almost
entirely of 1/8 in. mahogany plywood. All parts are cleanly die-cut, and
we have included a variety of detail parts including 38 cast metal
fittings. The size of the Dauntless leaves the door wide open for
different powering methods. The obvious choices would be scale electric
power, high speed electric power, or twin gas power, but you may have your
own ideas. Use running hardware kit #2332 for all twin screw, twin power
methods in the Dauntless. |
