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

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.

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. ;D
