Tubby Tug by William A Mackey, Utica, NY
3 June 2007
I purchased the plans on 2/5/06 and began collecting the materials, I
found some 100 year old oak that was previously church pews, which I used
for the cabin and all the trim. 5/20/06: Hull complete, cabin complete on
7/22/06. 9/23/06: all painted and ready. Wasn't able to go for maiden
voyage until 5/28/07. It was in the water 7/4/06 but just to reach my
personal goal. Had to wait till this season as it required a HIN which
took much longer than I excepted. This memorial day was the first voyage,
hell or high water, and it was 20 mph wind and 1 ft. waves, but this
little boat took it like a champ. Thanks Glen-L!
