BURCHCRAFT BOATS: —-- Standard Outboard Models.
-2-
FOR THE FISHERMAN the Burchcraft Fisherman Model, properly
powered, will bring new pleasure because of its ability to
safely and comfortably reach desired fishing grounds farther
away in shorter time, yet hold course at troling speed for
spinner fishermen. It also affords remarkable stability for
casting and for landing the catch. Its toughness, and ease with
which it is manuvered makes it a good boat for the river fish-
erman, yet it is light enough for two men to easily handle on
a trailer, or may be carried on top of car.
