As far as I am aware there are no kits of a springer tug, but there are fibreglass hulls available.

I think you'll find dozens & dozens of modellers that have completed the Ternt that will disagree with the opinions you've heard.
 I've not seen a bad one yet.  :-))

There is a free plan on this Forum somewhere for a Springer Tug.
