    After a couple of years messing with this little fella I think I need to stop. The little Tug's name is Bongo and was to be a side kick to the bigger tugboat Steel Drum. Well Bongo takes precious time away from the renovation of Steel drum........... What to do?:?:

    Run it as is if you can, drydock it if you can't and wait until things get better.

    I don't know...both should have gotten to me. Try this email...lewisboats@yahoo.com

    Back on topic...you should be able to store it for a number of years without serious deterioration...just put it on the back burner for a while.
