Well, I don't own a tug, but I do enjoy pushing my AmClyde crane around and lifting things from one place to another.

Motor was salvaged from nieces electric scooter, running on 24v with coupling, drive shaft, twin bladed kort and prop all home made.
Working bow thruster, fire hoses, aft winch....already has diesel sound unit fitted and working now.
Things have moved on a little since pic was taken but will get new pics on website as soon as possible.

Oh....and I can vouch for TowBoat Joe as one of lifes good guys, Joe visited my site and made my 'wish list' a little shorter with some help...A Big Thanks Joe!
