This is the type of Boat I love. Being a former Royal Marine, then 35 years in Ship Repair, Ships and Boats were a huge part of my life. When I retired, I bought a 40 year old Angling Boat, no modern rubbish for me. I call them " plastic Greenhouses". You have a beautiful Tug and part of History, long may you enjoy it.
She's a beautiful working ship, wonderful vid and glad I found it. Thank you from PNW Canada from some old fart who loves old boats, many tale ta tells ya boys, many a tale.
Awesome little tug boat Bro Can't beat a John deere for boats, I've got a 80hp in my 9ton 34ft motorsailor and she pushes 6.5 @ 1500 rpm and plenty of push power against the current. Just looking at your girl I can understand how you feel. Enjoy, happy days Bro Cheers from New Zealand.
Hi Mike after 40 years at see I love your enthusiasm mine has never left me ither my favourite little tug was 36ft6in had a v892 Detroit at 6:1reduction gear and a 5.6ft 4 blade prop in a full cortz nozel she was built for handling lash barges in tight areas and port docks and produced 5.6tone bollard pull ahead and5 tone astern , on 5he day I delivered her to the port of Newcastle Australia by sea from Melbourne the asked if she would be able to turn a floating ships drydock around in its berth for maintenance we sank the dock so I could push from the inside over the semisubmerged deck and with lines attached to a 40tone fork lift ashore we spun the dock in her own length in under an hour and 2days less than the previous time it was turned using winches the tug was called George Barney and her sister was the corio there best feature was twin becker rudders and a snub bow to the waterline allowing for a single aircraft tyre as bow fender , cheers ,and I wish you every success,
thanks for sharing this video. i had the pleasure of looking her over when Tim sold the business. She is beautifully done vessel. i hope i see you out there sometime.
Lol and hear i thought I was the only boy growing up with the love for boats.. Wanted to join the Navy.. first job was boat rebuilding in the naval dock yard..occasionally I work on boats.. I have to go where the money is at times
@@charlesgermain9024 at age 10 i was building ships in bottles as a hobby it kept me off the streets. Then Naval Cadets then the Naval Dock yard Simons Town.. sailed dinghys and got a job as a skipper at out V&A waterfront .. Now My gf love boats and the ocean as well and we want to one day retire on our own house boat.. the ocean is in her blood too.. her dad died at sea as a Captain of a fishing vessel.. so when i talk boats ships we have lots to talk about
This kind of boat made me imagine about stashing fish behind is it normal? I heard of a 8-10 person group that capture giant tunas arnd $16k each tuna to share, if like this, if 2-3 person? I am planning a Fish Catching, a Pulley like this to Turn the Rod, and Giant Tuna Hanging and To Sell, a Solo if Nobody around, it is Normal? Thinking of Shortcuts at "Boat Group" maybe have alot of Readers that Know?
Cool little tug boat!! If interested I'm restoring another 1972 John Allmand SuperNova 19 (up here in Rock Creek). Trying to get it to the ACBS show (referred this video) but all depends on weather and money. Last week's episode - th-cam.com/video/pvfOZHwy1T8/w-d-xo.html

She's a beauty !!!

No wheel. Just a joy stick. I get back to you about length, beam and draft. Thank you for asking
WHERE are Emily Anns SPECS ?? length , beam , draft , displacement etc ??
I did not get an answer yet from Mike!
😊
Hi Mike, you showed me how much these types of spare parts and barques cost
Thank you
Se avessi molti soldi 💴 pagherei oro per averne uno ❤

I think this is a great idea. Thanks for the comment
I wonder if u can make a tug boat cunard worthy meaning give it a funnel and 3 decks high with 4 crewmen?
I don't think so, but it is a neat idea.
Turning diesel into smiles since 1940.
Well said
John deer or Detroit?
John Deer
Mike will never work a day in his life, good luck to you
Nice video but I would’ve personally have liked to see the tug work a bit. She is impressive though.
Thank you for your suggestion
Perchance, there wouldn't happen to be any plans for this tug would there? Build plans that is.
I don’t think so but I will ask
@@charlesgermain9024 Thanks, cause I'd love to build a real working steel version at 25ft 11.5in.
@@Briebabcock8052 I will ask Mike. The owner. And let you know.

Interesting project indeed. GOOD LUCK!
marine construction is a bad life choice, you happened to get lucky and build docks for rich people.
Interesting perspective
