The tug is currently stored on the hard and will need a new prop (48X28).
The owner confirms the Detroit Diesel has always been a sweet runner with no major issues. The injectors were replaced in 2004 and the boat has been in fresh water since the late 1980s.
This one gets a lot of attention and is under lock-and-key, so a little advanced time for showings will be needed...but well worth it!
