Ride along program during the July 2017 ACBS show in Gravenhurst, Ontario. Some participants in the Gravenhurst Antique & Classic boat show volunteered to give rides to anyone interested. Although my mini tugboat is neither antique nor classic, there were some adults and some children interested in taking a ride in a mini tugboat on a very windy day with very rough water even inside the Gravenhurst bay. Many more people hitched a ride on some beautiful antique & classic boats which could handle the rough water with ease and grace. Here are some examples:

All he needs with this cute little tug, is a little barge with seats so he can give rides.

I'm building a model like yours but I'm having a hard time making the panels for the rear of that boat.

Is there any reason for those flat panels at the bottom on the back of the boat?

@HeliSimDriver 6 лет назад

For sure. They add lateral stability and I even added more floatation in those 2 panels which helped a lot especially if I have more than 2 adults on board. If you never have more than 2 adults on board, then the standard design is good enough in my opinion. The panels by the way are just an extension of the floor and not separate addons.

Many of the gigantic cruise ships have the same stabilizers, only much larger!

Do you have any pictures of how you build it ? Or where can I buy or see the blue prints.

@HeliSimDriver 6 лет назад

The plans are available from Berkeley-engineering.com and I have a few construction pictures here: flickr.com/photos/131732694@N06/sets/72157661203392369

Thank you. Enjoy your toy boat.

@HeliSimDriver 6 лет назад

Looks like a toy but still cruises at 32 kph with a 20 HP engine and 2 adults on board 😊

@joe-ut7ee 6 лет назад

You did excellent job. I can't build one like yours so I'll build a model just like it. Thanks for your info.

What the? Who would be even seen in something like that? Bizarre..

La Barone You must lead a very exciting life trolling RU-vid looking for things to criticize. I'm glad you set things right for the thousands of people who love this fun little boat and the dozens who asked for a ride during the Gravenhurst boat show and elsewhere. These poor misguided creatures should get a life and look for fun in other places. Unlike yourself, they don't appreciate the finer things in life and just look for cheap worthless thrills. Pity! And by the way...I am 73 and I built this boat in nine months in my garage. I would love to see the beautiful things you must have built.
