This may not be a tin but this is my old log tending tug I used to run years ago. A little worse for the wear now but it still has the custom A-frame boom on the front that I built for her :mrgreen: It is 32 ft all steel and has a 7.0L 6-71 Detroit diesel putting out about 250hp and around 700lb ft torque turning a 40" wheel. Have a lot of good memories in this old tug, I even used to fish out of her going down the river while under tow and pushing barges. Trolling with a 12 ton tug ha ha ha :lol:

Sounds like a FUN job! Good to see it's still around.
Too bad there wasn't a need for LCM coxswains, in the private industry, when I got out of the navy. I could have ran them forever.
