Thanks so much TAD Roberts,
At 60Klbs or 30 tons and 240hp (the Murphy) she has 8hp per ton. That's well over the required 4 to 5 and is evidenced by the pic on the Pacific Motor Boats Inc broker site under "view all images". The 6th pic down (powerful pic) shows her very clearly overdriven. Much more power than she needs. But w her beam and (probably) rather full bow bucking headseas would probably require a good portion of the extra power. After all she was a tug. I'd probably want 240hp as also.
