Your videos and style are very pleasing to watch. I also like the subject matter as I am interested in a tug myself. Very much looking forward to more of your content. Keep it coming!
Thanks for your comment. These are interesting boats. I found, after two years with this tug, that it helps to have clarity in what you want and if a particular boat and model is made for your chosen purpose. For example, if you have zero intentions to ever trailer (as we do), why limit your choices to boats that can be trailered with a regular pickup truck? It was always clear to me that there is much to be learned about the actual capabilities of a boat, but I did not know that I didn't have a clear picture on my requirements. Tough to know what you don't know.
What an absolutely delightful and interesting review of your beautiful motor yacht! Thanks for sharing! And we will follow your journey as you move on. All the best and fair winds from us!
We are always glad to see a new MV Emerson video! As fellow R-29 owners, we learn a lot from you. Intrigued by your "somewhat comfortable" comment because we can relate! Also, a question: it appears as if you have added some canvas that serves to extend the coverage over the cockpit. Is that standalone, or is it part of a full enclosure?
Hi Jay. Thanks for your comment. The "Somewhat comfortable" comment comes from the desire to stretch out a bit and lounge around with our feet up. We have seen some creative solutions and I think that we will figure out what works best for us. We opted for the stand-alone roof extension - or cockpit bimini - from King Marine Canvas. We are also adding a command bridge bimini in March. We enjoy sitting outside without the sun beating down on us. We asked that King Marine Canvas design our cockpit bimini so we have the option later on to add zippers and sides.
Agreed. It is. Fortunately, the areas we have visited so far generally have good quality water available. Even with that though it is limiting and our cruise plans may have to include marinas. We’ll see how it works out.

45 gallons of fresh water is a limiting factor for serious cruising.
Agreed. It is. Fortunately, the areas we have visited so far generally have good quality water available. Even with that though it is limiting and our cruise plans may have to include marinas. We’ll see how it works out.
Nice video but could have been great if you had someone narrate it.
Agreed. I have reason to not use my own voice and have started looking into solutions.
Great video but needs your narration.
Yes. Agreed. Working on something. I prefer to not go “old school”, using my own voice. Thanks for your feedback.
I have a camano troll and I burn 2 to 3 gallons and hour at 2200 rpm. Back off to 1800 and I’ll go for 20 days cruising without refueling.
How can you burn 135 gallons in two hours.
Not sure what you are referring to.
