Hummingbird 12
This is a 12 foot boat styled after the
small 1950's runabouts that were common among the sporty crowd
on the lakes. The underwater shape is, however, designed for
low power and a stabl~ comfortable ride. Available as a five
passenger two seat family model or a three passenger one seat
fully decked sports model. Strip planked cedar hull and decks,
marine ply bulkheads, with the hull covered with clear glass
and epoxy for ease of maintenance, and no leaks. All fasteners
are of brass, bronze or stainless steel, as required. Finished
with your choice of colour for bottom paint and your choice of
colour/varnish combinations for topsides, and varnished decks
and interior. We only use the highest quality epoxy paints below
the waterline and Epifanes yacht paints and varnish. Comes with
chromed brass windshield frame and plate windshield in glass
or lexan, fifties style bow light, stem light, wood centred steel
steering wheel, Morse steering controls, four torpedo cleats,
flagstaff and Cd n. pennant style flag, bow and stem eyes for
mooring, authentic push/pull light switch, ammeter, and bilge
pump.
With any of the motors the Hummingbird 12 should
have a cruising speed of 5 to 8 kilometres per hour and a range
between charges of 25 to 75 kilometres, depending on the size
of battery bank.

Power
This boat is powered by inboard style (invisible)
Minn Kota trolling motors, or for a more traditional fifties
look- the Ray high thrust electric outboard.
Prices quoted are for the highest quality Exide golf cart batteries-
good for 600 to 1000 cycles. This means that under conditions
of 3 charges a week for 20 weeks per summer they should last
10 to 15 years. An automatic charger of the correct voltage is
built into the boat. All you need is an outdoor receptacle with
G.F.I. protection, and a good extension cord to your dock. You
need only remove the batteries (65 lbs. each) when you store
your boat for the winter.
The Minn Kota motors are of suitable power
to move the boat at hull speed (about 7.5 Kilometres per hour).
If, however you plan to be dealing with strong currents, or winds
I would recommend one of the higher thrust motors. Speed and
forward/reverse controls are dash mounted.
The Ray motors are built for serious thrust
demands and are built to last a lifetime. They are also rated
more conservatively, so their power is probably closer to what
you could expect. Speed and forward/reverse controls as well
as a battery condition meter are dash mounted.
