Build Finalized

Hello,
Finally put some finishing touches on my Rescue Vessel BUILD. Added rubber bumpers to assist in rescuing at bow and stern. Removed the smoker unit as these was complicating the build and was against one of my original objectives....Keep it Simple!

Overal all I am pleased with is build, it was fun, quick and built mostly with scraps and parts on hand. The Springer Tug design is a great starter design and can be easily modified to personal tastes. I recommend this to those out there to get some initial or just more experience at building. it's fun!

    Ed / Donnieboy,
    Thank you for the compliments, I appreciate it. it's the first quick build, most of mine take 1-2 years. it's making me think about how to improve on build times. Thanks again.

Dry docked for a year, sea trials soon.

Hello,
I have been absent for a year, busy with my other hobbies. Dusted off my Push Tug and Brooklyn Tug and will get to the pond in about a week. Will photograph......

    Our rescue boat in action. A bit small for the one meter yacht but the two arms work well with the Wee Nips and 65's. Sorry about the resolution, phone was zoomed in so lost clarity.
