J5oaf Designed To Fit Into Rear Of Family Automobile Austin, Tex. (U.R) Those back breaking days of tugging your boat from atop the car or off a trailer may soon be over. All you may have to do In the future is lift a 11-foot, seven and one-half long boat from beneath the "turtle" of your car. Expected to start Into com mercial production soon at Abi lene, Tex., is this new wonder boat made of 22-gauge steel which comes in three sections. At the st?rn the boat will be 32 inches wide. It will taper slight-, ly toward the semi-pointed bow. That's how the sections fit one into the other for stacking into your car. And the parts can be assembled in about five minutes or less by use of eight U-bolti. Safety feature of the new craft is that the sections individually arc buoyant. Should one spring a leak, the others still will float. And the E-Z Tote Boat Works plans to make separate sections for replacements. Not only will the boat have oar locks, but it will have an outboar motor attachment, block. Texas sportsmen art looking forward to introduction of th boat us a quick method of being able to get to a fishing spot and getting a hook in the water.
