About this boat

So tuggy came about from a tugboat/working boat i see on a visit to New York many years ago as a child. The classic design remained etched in my mind and last year decided to design that same elegant form and print my version.

She has a working fire monitor which is variable. It'll happily reach 25ft! And 10ft high. Working lights and is powered by a mighty 850 brushed motor which doubles as ballast.

She has a working bilge pump for if used in the sea and she gets water onboard. An own design 3 blade high torque low rpm propeller and a rudder curved out an old Krick model stand. She runs very well and had in excess of 100 hours time on both pond and sea last year

    Ignore that last bit, just seen the second link. I never knew about these or the construction. Pretty cool
