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.

Today we sea trailed the Alumatug in puget sound. She preformed awesome. We
are now giving personal sea trails for those interested in purchasing one.

What's a sea "trail"?

Common mistype, and it blows right past spell checkers. Their website
was put together by the same guys who build the boat.

You can't have it both ways. Folks who want to say, "I'm so sick of
slick ad and marketing campaigns for boats" shouldn't then be overly
critical of grammar, punctuation,
and general style when the guys who actually built the boat sit down to
write up a description of it. You want your aluminum boat built by an
expert welder, or an English major? :-)

(not to say one can't be both a careful writer and a welder, of course)
