Hi Dave,

Welcome to Mayhem.  Pull up a chair and get the kettle on.

I would advise having a good read as this subject is covered in the Tug section. Decide on the best idea for you and what will fit your hull shape.

Cheers

Ken

Another thing to think about when building model tugs is do you want it to do the job they are intended for or for it to just look the part  %)
