    Many of us have seen or heard of the "Springer" push boat (a.k.a., tug, truckable boat, etc.). Most of them are not scale models but still built to the enjoyment of the owner.

    This blog deals with how I build "Springers" to look like a scale model of some real boats. I will deal with some of the issues as well as ideas for searching for you own "scale model Springer".

    Follow this blog as I build my latest "Springer", a US Army Corps of Engineers truckable push boat working at the Little Goose Dam in Washington State where it moves river debris to the "stoplog" gates.

    I have an SHG Sprinter tug which is a semi scale Springer. It is very maneuverable. It also has a shallow horseshoe attachment which fits on the front for pushing a small ball around. Used to play to play football with several boats on the pool itโ€™s mayhem but great fun

    Starting by building a ZIPPKITS Springer eliminates the drudgery of plank-on-frame of your hobby boat. I'm currently building my 2nd & 3rd. Three cheers for Zippkits !!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
