Salty is her name and "salty" is what she is. Traditional quarter stern towboat
hull design, adapted for three chine construction. This enables the use of flat sheet
material such as plywood in a "stitch-and-tape" construction.
Depending on the "pulling power" desired, you can use the:
5 HP Compound Engine, or
6 HP Double Simple Engine, or
7 HP Triple Engine
While not recommended for the beginner, the 5 sheets of plans are very comprehensive.
A good, seaworthy boat that is still trailerable.

* All plans are "shipped" electronically, as PDF files.
If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to
adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click
here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.
(Personally, we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe products], but that's your call.)
BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way, actually) to move documents around electronically.

HP (in this context) means Horse Power.
(Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550
foot-pounds per second
or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary)
watts, and is the usual
measure of the amount of work an engine can do.
Oddly enough, not that closely related to the amount of work a Horse can do! (Go figure.)
See Does one horsepower really equal the power of one horse? (at www.carkeys.co.uk) for more information on that subject.
