Default RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

Kaymac I thought it was the same but you can't be sure until the poster verifies it. It was 1986 when I built my tug the magazine was still in business then. I put a Hectoperm motor in mine with a 2.5 to 1 ratio. It can pull/push anything without a sweat. It runs all day long on a 12volt gel cell battery. I put a diesel engine module and ships horn on the boat from Ram I believe it was. I have lights in the mast and safety lights around the cabin, plus the nav lights. I am planning on building another next year when my schedule will allow. I want to install a smoker unit this time out.
Your tug must be a beauty as well. Did you put a lot of time into it. Do you have any pics?
