RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I didn't work hard at it. If I had to guess I would say a couple weeks.

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I thought you Francis Smith Tug people might like to see these parts. The hull is a 36" hull with deck, superstructure, and stack.

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I found this on my HD in a folder it shouldn't have been in. I thought maybe anyone building or planing on building might like to see it.

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

2003Merc, You could always glue several 45 dergee angles around the pilot house and use them to attach the visor. Use the template Kaymac sent you on folder stock first then make the wood part. How...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

Blaster84 it is a Dumas kit. I haven't built it as yet. What I am doing is getting as many of the needed items either made or purchased. So
when I do build I will have everything I need on hand....

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

Of the whole model I thought the visor was the absolute worst part of the build. It took me several tries to get it right and look good. So take your time when doing it remember you will be looking...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I made up a jig to hold the 1/16" visor after cutting it out. It was just two pieces of scrap wood I had lying around. The trick(and this is only my opinion) is the edge that glues to the pilothouse...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I was wondering how you were making out and if you had started the tug yet. I understand having too many other projects to do. I have been trying to clean up a few of my started projects so I can...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

I no longer have anything inside the tug. I stripped it all down when I knew it wouldn't be going to the pond any more. What I did have was a hectoperm 3:1 motor, vantec ret-44 esc, 12 volt 7 mah...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

What a great way to preserve the plans for future use. If you read the article over and inspect the plans you shouldn't have any problems building the tug. Francis designed this tug to be built with...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

You have enough experience in building to be able to build one of these tugs. The trick is to think it all out before doing anything, then taking it one step at a time. If all else fails I do know of...

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

RE: 85 ft Harbor Tug/Angels Gate

Keith do you have enough room to raise the motors and install a reducing pulley system?
