Another Pusher Tug

While doing research for my Springer/Pusher tug I discovered these drawings David Metcalf’s Motorflot Pusher Tug and I had all the materials to build it so I put the other pusher I am building aside and started on this one. I am easily distracted 😆
All the hull parts have been cut out one after yesterdays power outage, I will stat the assembly today.
Pictures to follow.

Progress

All the hull parts cut out and a dry run to see if they fit, can't always trust a drawing.

Motorflote article

Hi Lew, yes. Here is the Model Boats Cover, It was published in December 1985.
Just realised that’s 40 years ago🤣

Look I’m aiming for

I think this is what I want the finished boat to look like, just don’t know about the gull.
