Yacht Conversion, Tugs unless repowered/geared if not towing or pushing

Wood boat, 65 feet. Enterprise DMG-6, 400 rpm max, direct reversing, air
start. Next best thing to recip steam. It would be a crime to replace
that engine with a screaming little whiner.

You don't convert tugs for reasons of economy.

That being said... I still love the looks and lines of old tugs and
I'm glad people keep them floating.

Puget Sound (where the boat now lives) is the center of the universe for
restored tugs. The new owner will take it back to the Bay Area where it
was built.
