About this boat
A build of a Pacific Northwest (PNW) log tug, the Dorothy Mackenzie. I purchased this “ kit” from a friend in Ca in the US. I say kit but it is a collection of well cast parts originally sold by Gary King. Built with a suppled drawing but no instructions other than advice from my CA friend, Gary, and Umi Ryuzuki.Also searched a lot of photos of Dorothy builds constructed by others. Not sure I will name her Dorothy as I have strayed from true to type details in some cases. That partially because I have been told the log tugs are now repurposed for tasks other than towing log booms. Hope to finish her up while in Fl as well as pairing it with a Taranis X7 radio.

Sorry I don’t understand well your post.
Is this an old model you bought from a someone or is a kit you build?
Anyway it is a nice looking tug and I also believe once you get your artistic hands on it, it will look even better.
Chug; as mentioned above it was sort of a kit. Fortunately I had several knowledgeable people, including Gary who were familiar with PNW tugs & gave me extremely good advice.
Everything, hull, deck, etc was in unfinished form.
Well worth the effort! 👍
Look a tug like yours has been painted by Chistina
