Springer push-boat goes under a footbridge

not springer but a small harbor tow. was watching for one when we made port this morning but I didn't see the local resident springer. when I do catch him I'll make sure to grab a photo or two.

I forgot to mention in the post that this was a Zippkits model from the deck down.

Springer push-boat goes under a footbridge

Here is a very short video of one of my Springers going past our floating dock and under the access footbridge:
The video was recorded on Nov. 6, 2022 at Lake Seminole Park, Seminole, Florida, USA. Weather was clear, low wind, and about 85F.

This Springer is based on a real "truckable" push boat based on several photos that were measured. The pilot house goes up and down like the real one, using a cog belt drive from an old HP inkjet printer.

We were going to do a "push off" but the other Springer had a battery issue☹️. Perhaps next time...
