The Playmate appeared in Penn Yan’s catalogs from 1929 thru 1953, and thus was one of their longest running models. This 15 ft V-bottom outboard runabout was produced with “Composite” construction (canvas covering) throughout its history, and was also briefly offered in “Monowood” construction in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The 1953 catalog specifies a maximum motor size of 33hp, which would push this relatively light weight (275 lb) boat along at great speed for its day.
