Chrystler Sea Mule

Hey all,
Just found this site...looks very helpful.
I'm in the process of purchasing an old 1944 Chrystler Sea Mule. 40 x 13 x 8 high, powered by 2 Chrstler straight 8 engines and 54" props. Ugly as all get out (reminds me of a thread I saw about the guy who is thinking about making a boat out of sea cargo containers).
BUT, perfect for my needs--purchased for 4 thou and then I can make a house boat.

I'll be having lots of questions, but here's my first (and I didn't know where to stick this thread)...anybody out there no anything about thee old WWII pusher tugs? Operated one, owned one, etc., I'd sure appreciate any info
Thanks,
~martin

That would be me.
Are there pictures or a link to further info?
