Little tug boat?

[cajunseadog]

Is anyone familiar with this little tug design? Looks like a cool little boat.

Here's a link with some clips of one in action.

Any comments and info would be appreciated. I think it would be cool to maybe build something like this.

I have looked at the ones that are a little larger with an enclosed cabin.

Would be cool crusing down bayou Lafouche, pasts the shrimp boats and boat sheads, very cool.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I had in mind, that is if I'm still living in the area by the time I get around to building something like this. Bayou Lafourche is right across the road (Highway 1) from us. What part of Lousiana are you from?

A little town called Schriever, you may have heard of it. (ha ha)
Yeah I'm just down the road from you (a hop skip and a jump).
I worked down the bayou a the big "B" for a while, Lofting Boats in the computer and making programs to drive the cutting machine.

Here is a link to a little tug I'd like to build.
