Go ahead and start a thread about your type of boats that is what this forum was set up for. You know the members here can't get enough pics no matter what kind of R/C machine it is.

My uncle an I are working on The Midwest kit Seguin. Its about 75% complete We also want to build a springer tug

R/C tugboats certainly could be an interesting addition to a R/C construction scene. Especially with a R/C tugboat maneuvering a barge with a r/c excavator for seawall construction as an example.

I haven't started using the NyLint dragline to load sand into barges yet because the water level in the canal this year is too low for navigation due to issues on the south pool.

I have a Mr Darby that has been running around for a few years.
Lot's of power to pull myself and a 250 pound skiff around.

In push mode I can get 1 mph speed over ground. plenty fast enough.

One day I might pull them out and try to make em run again.

Nothing better then breathing NEW life into old models

I really like the barge crane setup.
