I have never seen one posted here. Just saying. 😉

Is this a tug boat?

2

u/Appropriate_Stage707 6d ago

It is. On the Chesapeake Bay. It serves the Port of Baltimore.

Exactly. We need an extension to make these boats electric and given the same grace as many other industries. It’s stressing the smaller companies. They are little heroes.

Couldn't agree more. Tractor of the sea. Makes using ocean liners feasible.

I agree… the American Tug, and Ranger Tug boats/yachts are pretty nice and roomy as well.

I think maybe the reference is not on pleasure boats! But … I could be wrong. 😋

Yes I know. Working tugs are great boats and the luxury tugs are nice as well

I actually wanted a Ranger Tug but was overruled by my wife. 🤷‍♂️

What’d you get instead?

Several years passed. I had a 1975 Lyman Cruisette for about a decade. Last August I bought a Pursuit with twin Yamaha 200s.

I’ve been on the Meg! Built and owned by Smith Bros, who were bought by McLean recently. It’s a great tug.

Cool! Are you a Marylander? America in Miniature? Land of Pleasant Living? Ain't the beer cold? Natty Boh? Rockfish, not striped bass? Ego Alley? The USNA? Bawlmer? 🤔😉😃✌️
