Big thanks to Jim and Neil for sorting out Mike's last tug.
I of course, had to start to make it mine. :embarrassed: The painted surface made a superb base for a painted, re-painted boat and just lent itself to me starting to weathering it.
I am hoping Jim and, if Mike ever does see it...he will approve {:-{

I love to see a workboat actually look like its had a hard life. You are going to do something with the pristine anchor chain and tow rope?
