Indian Runner

The Indian Runner is 18' long, with a 5' beam. It normally runs about 5 1/2 knots, with a capacity of 4 to 6 people. It needs about a 3- to 5-horsepower engine turning a 14-inch propeller. Weight with engine and boiler is about 1,200 pounds.

The hull plans are available from an English company, Selway Fisher Designs, with the model name of “Indian Runner”. The original design is 17 1/2', but we can lengthen or shorten it slightly to suit your needs.

Approximate price for a hull of this size is $8,000.
