In this owner's case, the owner 'cobbled' together various manufactures to display his desired information.

Three helm stations, diesel, displacement hull, trailerable - it's like TF built a boat by committee... well, except for the Volvo engine. :-)


$12,000 CAD, which is around $9600 USD.

@Adopo, I love that commercial tug look. Lowers your theft-profile as well when sitting in less developed areas, compared to fancy pretty yachts.

If nothing else, this qualifies as an "interesting boat"!

Interesting docking is part of what makes the boat interesting.

No fenders needed!

Also, can be used as a fender.

Used as a fender. Now there’s an interesting possibility! I think you should have helped write the brochure.

No need to worry about the steel you can't see on the interior. For some reason I kinda like it, way too much to finish it for me.

Maybe he and the guy with the 70’ motor sailer in Baltimore should get together. They can cry on each other’s shoulders while figuring out how to get their boats sold.

At $20,000 that's gotta be close to scrap value. But I can see someone ambitious and crazy enough to make it livable and power its way up to Alaska.

Probably not practical for many reasons, but it would be sweet if this forum could do a go fund me to buy that boat for the member here who had to abandon his boat in Russia. Similar style of boat, and scale of project.

The owner gave me a tour of his tugboat the St Eval, which probably is the most storied tug boat in the world. hMS Mary, HMS Hood, etc.

Beautiful restoration.

Decent looking unit pulled in beside us last night

Shiny white superyachts don't do it for me but ones that have that traditional, semi commercial look get me every time.
