Yes, a 1944 wood tug converted to a yacht.

Saw a 1927 tug on the GSA auctions.

What do you think? Is she a money maker?

Couldn't find it on the site. Hard to make money in such a competitive
industry with old boats.

Id like to push around ship, if the moneys right.

It will take a lot more than an old boat and a few bucks. Regulatory
environment and competition is pretty stiff.

If I was forced to buy a powerboat, it would be a tug.

Yeah, and I do not know that market.

If I could afford it I buy a new supply boat like this one:

I could make 1,500 a day pure profit! Halter Marine make some nice
supply boats as well, any 220 footer with liquid mud and cement tanks
and north sea stacks would fit the bill.
