Boucher “Polly-Wog” is 24″ long. Comes with a 2 cyl outboard motor. Speeds of 6 mph for 20 minutes.

The Boucher Model Power Boats have all the “up to the minute” refinements of the large motor boats—windshield, deck vents, concealed boilers, etc.

The “Polly- Wog” shown below, is one of the most popular Boucher Model Power Boats. She looks acts, and roars like a real outboard. She operates on a Sterno flame and half a glass of water and is absolutely safe. Her speed will thrill any man or boy interested in boating. Just the thing for camp this summer!

CONSTRUCTION SETS

If you want to have the fun of building, rigging, and painting your own boat, order one of the Boucher Construction Sets of the boat you wish to make.

Set includes all material, properly shape fittings, fully illustrated instructions, plane, sand paper, etc.

You can turn out a successful boat from one of these sets and be able to pridefully say ” I made her ” when she crosses the line a winner.
