loco tug / sub ??
« on: May 31, 2008, 05:51:55 pm »
Built this a few weeks ago from a woden mould (trailer chock) and after fitting out with a motor and such it needed a water test .
The hull went white and at full chat it does a springer and burries its nose .
its still fun  {-)

Think the bottom bit is going forward and the top bit is going backwards  :-\

Its defiantly going forwards  and its got the same tendency as a springer (to dive) .
I intend to make a barge with a recess in the stern like the Mississippi boats and strap the tug in it like a pusher ,should keep the bow up.

What's powering the barge? it doesn't look self propelled.
