Looks like a partially built 18 X 7 tugboat

That one looks like a real mess, especially after we have seen the tug you built, high end workmanship and materials, vs. second rate materials and workmanship. At least it looks like a tug. I'll bet it doesn't bring more than the outboard motor is worth.

Fred,

Yeah after looking at those pics closer.... lots of sinning going on there :)

I think that is an attempt at a GlinnEL tug. (Misspelled so it doesn't come up in searches)

$200 might be a tad high! :lol: I think nothing would be too high-but what do I know!! ;)

The first thing that popped into my head when I looked at that was "run away! run away!!".
