Jack Sawyer Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Many thanks to @Larry_R for the pro tip on this beautiful pilotable tug! Anyone can install it, it's in the manual, something I glossed over, and it's fun! I can see Fred and the gang having some serious fun with this beauty. Amazing detail on this thing!

Rob Abernathy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The tug should be in folder called Extras in your YRC install. Very straight forward to add it in. I love tooling around with it. And btw, very nice screens Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Some nice tug shots Jack....well, a tug it might be, but is sure looks like a floating tin can...literally Larry did a nice job modeling it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Landon, it kind of does but I imagine they use these in real life, it looks kind of ungainly, like it'll tip over but I guess it works. 4 hours ago, European Mountain Man said: super set of shots Jack did you have your fishing rod for a bit of fishing and catch your breakfast or tea regards EMM Thanks EMM!

Cute little thing, but I'll bet the real thing weighs as much as a D9 Caterpillar (Bulldozer), and just like an iceberg most of the action/weight is below the waterline (displacement). I'll bet she handles like a dream with plenty of grunt. (Love your work Larry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro VH-JET Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi Larry, Looks like she's got some serious log grabbing/pushing teeth below the waterline. Nice shade of green in the above shot, but Jack needs a yellow one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see what the real deal looks like, and out of the water to boot! I still think, even more so now, that it looks like a floating tin can...albeit, a very hardy one I am sure that it is a very capable and tough piece of hardware though, I am just having some landlubber fun with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Larry's CAG8 Pender Harbor has an Extras folder after you install it with the Angelfish boat. Either one make a great little cruiser to dip in and out of the bays. One of my favorites is at Secret Cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
