Hi,   captain Jack & myself connected up a fishing scale to his 'Portgarth' (before he sold it) and it pulled a steady 7Lb from rest then with the sticks at full stretch it would pull 11 Lb if the tug could take up from off center

I have forgotten what the motors were but she ran on 12 volts (old miners battery set up)
5 blade brass props captain jack will know all the details as I forget things eas

Richard,

[Capt Jack]

The motors were 12volt Buhler's, power wise i can't remember but they were quiet and run for about an hour and a half.
Also had Becker rudder's and as catengineman say's,she had a pretty good bollard pull.

Thought you would be in bed resting from the torments of work
Opps sorry torments of wondering when you'll get the tug in the lake

Richard, on the third ring

[Capt Jack]

Wondering if my back will stand up to carrying the thing to the pond more like

Some of us haven't got or perhaps need a 4 wheeler launching system !!!!!!!!

[catengineman]

Oh blast......

Just didn't realise that it would be looked on as a four wheeler ::)

I take it that if the "idiot" in the treasury finds out Ill get stung in the pocket for tax and high greenhouse gas emissions. :'(

Richard,                      will disguise it later.

[Capt Jack]

Yes, that could be classed as a Chelsea tractor if you ask me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I said earlier, the carrier has now been changed to an Eco friendly version

No pictures as pat- pending

                                                           coming dear
