Hello all. This is a scratch built boat from a fiberglass bare hull that I purchased. The purpose of this build is to give me a toy to play with at my cabin at Langdale BC. This is on the ocean and many log tows go past here so there is a scandalous amount of logs in the water that we burn as firewood on beach patio and our fireplace. The tug will be used to push these back to shore where I can reach them with a pipe pole, and hoist them up with my crane. The boat will be very crude in its finishing, and have very little detail, and the "house" will only roughly represent the tug I am modelling it after. in fact I expect to place a handle on it so I can handle it like a suitcase. it is 45" long and single screw (3.75" four blade prop) I am using a steerable Kort nozzle I built and has a rudder on the nozzle as well.

Boat has been In the water. Speed seems good, still a bit high In the water, but that run was without the house or rubber bumper an that alone Is 6.5 lbs. overall weight looks to be 60 lbs, but I still have hardware to add to hold the house down and epoxy to put on all the wood, then paint. Not as much steerage In reverse as I had hoped for, plenty In forward.
