Building this tug with wood left over from my Clyde Puffer, more info as I go along. Building to Springer spec 18 inch's long 8 inch's wide.

Basic hull finished dry fit motor, shaft and prop, plus rudder. Blue painters tape great for holding hull bottom, better than clamps for 1/16th ply.

I'm a lazy bugger so I printed this wheelhouse on my 3d printer😊

Almost ready for paint, all white parts 3d printed, ( I know it's cheating but if I bought a kit it would have plastic mouldings) that' my excuse anyway!😁😁😁😁

Now painted not going overboard with detail this is just a fun boat,Viper marine 15 speed control, 1 1/2 prop, cut down large brass rudder, more than 3 1/2 pounds lead ballast, will be adding nav lights, maiden voyage set for Sunday 2nd February weather permitting 🤞😊

A short video of maiden voyage of my new tug,sorry about camera work, plus my tug next to another tug from my club Stevenage Model Boat Club.
