New tugboat line launched in the Pacific NW

I got aboard the prototype of the Alumatug 28 today.
Think 28 Nordic Tug, built of aluminum.
Aluminum has its pluses and minuses, (like any hull material), but it
allows the company to build a high-value/ low cost boat.
Brand new 28-footer with full ensemble of Raymarine electronics
(including radar), bow thruster, 160 HP diesel engine, VacuFlush head,
etc etc etc etc...... $195,000. In my opinion, that's an attractive
deal for somebody shopping for a new tug in a smaller size.
The boat is built in Bow, Washington (near Bellingham) and sold by
North Harbor Yachts in Anacortes.
I got a bunch of photos for a new feature we run in the mag ("First
Glance") that is basically a photo shoot of a newly introduced boat. I
may put them up on the pbase site when time permits.

Nice looking boat.
