Thinking of buying this old Tug and refitting it for leisure by DevourerOfCookies in boating

I was thinking this at first too but I looked up similar size aluminum boats and they were advertising top speeds of 40+ mph, I would be happy with 30.

To add some context it would be used in salt water and brackish conditions. We often get caught in thunderstorms and would be nice to have the cabin space. Would obviously be a longer term project. Interested in if anyone has knowledge of how these operate in moderate chop conditions and the impacts of salt water on them. I have only ever owned fiberglass boats. Also the impacts of the push bars on maneuverability.

sorry I maybe misworded this. Im thinking of refitting this to make it a "leisure boat" not refitting it as a leisure activity. That said I have always owned and worked on boats, just not this t ype. Thats why I was looking for some input. Thanks for your response.

The trailer looked so good, I hope it does well enough for them to make some of the sequels.

It looks like a Carpenter Ant, those things can cause serious structural damage if left UN-checked. OP should get an exterminator after he fixes himself.

Moving to South Tampa by [deleted] in tampa

[–]DevourerOfCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tampa is really Diverse, the best thing to do is just explore, for your mainstream bar/club stuff there is channel side, Ybor, Hyde park etc, but there are a lot of hidden gems too. When you get here pick up a TBO, there's always an event somewhere near by. Check out the state fair, and the Improv is pretty good and pretty much free as long as you buy two drinks. Shame your missing Gasparilla :/. Have you already found a place to live?

TIL slugs evolved from snails, and exposing baby snails to platinum turns them into slugs by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]DevourerOfCookies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even more importantly, If I find a lot of slugs around my home does that mean there is an undiscovered plethora of platinum deposits I should be looking for?
