need any and all info on the AT43.5.
Looking for any bad or good info concerning the American Tug 43.5Welcome! What have you found so far? What specific questions do you have or info gaps to fill?
Dont mean to mislead any one just seeking info on the American Tug 43.5 (boat)When there is someone new and they are asking about boats, the first thing I look for is where they are located. (This is one of my favourite inside my head rants) Many seem to think that just listing there city is good enough, don't know why, this is an international forum. I could just list my home as Qualicum beach and just leave it at that, but I do know almost no one here knows where that is. I am writing this for the OP and any other newbies who have just joined.
The reason location is important to me is that boats are tools and one tool will often do a better job than another tool, or another version of the same tool might be better for the job - hence a boat is not a boat, is not a boat.
The same with just asking about AT 43.5. When I googled, I left the word boat out and I'm here to tell you apparently there is a role playing game called AT 43. A link would be great. And as the second post says, what questions and info?
AT43? You mean this NZ maker?

Or the American Tug 435?

If you like being able to read answers with good info, ask questions that include accurate details.
That and the search function here will no doubt lead you to a lot of good discussions related to the kind of boat you're seeking.
And if you're not familiar with forums, you can often use google to search within forums, sometimes with better results:

Welcome, Smoky.
Bobndoc: Smoky likely means well, but I can see why a respondent might chide a bit. I say that because of the "you get out what you put in" concept.
To answer in kind, we'd say "great boat, floats, roomy." Equal effort, but obviously not that helpful. Or, to be literal, we'd have to say everything we know about the boat, good, bad, and indifferent; features, design, etc. That'd be a book, and whomever typed it would be spending hours doing so.
Smoky, I'm not trying to discourage you! But maybe you can see how your question doesn't really help the good people here who do know about the AT (and there are many) to help you. If you put more into the question, then you will get more (and better) back.
Happy shopping.
