The lines show a straight sectioned V bottom model of wholesome form and were prepared with a view of moderate speeds with modest power. Ten miles an hour can be expected if Linny is fitted with an engine of similar capacity to the single cylinder 6 horse Baby Huskie Palmer shown in the plans. There are other excellent engines of approximately equal weight and power that might be used for powering the little boat; a Universal Fisherman, 5 horsepower United States Motors, Falcon 5 horsepower and a Lauson ZW-921 of 5-5 1/2 horsepower; all three are of single cylinder type and within the weight suitable for the boat, a figure which should not exceed approximately 200 pounds. Bear in mind that too much weight in the engine department will upset the performance of the boat as well as the arrangement of the cockpit.

As a craft to use for pleasure fishing Linny should be ideal. Her long straight keel will prevent "walking" while at anchor and will, while underway, contribute to holding a straight course. And one will not have to keep an eye on the prospects of the weather, the boat's high flaring topsides and hull balance will keep the boat dry and secure in the event of flying spray and breaking waves. Her seats are well down in the boat, a feature which not only gives a comfortable sense of security but is a safeguard as well. A safe and comfortable complement for Linny is four persons.
