Handy Billy 18'

$80.00 CAD

HANDY BILLY 18
The Handy Billys were designed to introduce boaters to an older hull form which handles choppy water in style while needing only modest power compared with most of today's hulls. We relied heavily on Wm. Hand's work from 1910 to 1930 to create these seakindly hulls.
