That's the NANTICOKE the last and coolest tug I owned. It's an x navy DPC with an EMD 8 567 800HP @ 800 RPM Falk gear turning a 96" prop. Cool stuff I'd love to make one of those into tug yacht but the 10' draft kills it. Gota take the pics of the 60C this weekend.

Hello, my name is Byron and I am a two faced hypocrite who only likes technical threads and will probably be the biggest whiner on this site. My feelings are hurt that Sky would check out this place and not mine....it's just due to the fact that I am a self-centered narcicist and I have a deep inner need to believe that everybody loves me because it makes me feel important for the first time in my life. I never had any friends before this internet forum thing came around and now I have made it my life's goal to make as many internet "friends" as possible so please, please let me play with you here! My own website is not nearly enough to support my ego and I really need more. I assure you that I will not provide ANY worthwhile boating related contributions whatsoever, as I VERY rarely have to any forum that I have infiltrated. I much prefer to receive good (free) advice and get (free) help fixing things but I will not return the favor because I am simply not qualified and I have absolutely NO desire to work on my own boat much less someone else's. I just run 'em until they break, then park 'em. It's much more fun to just talk about boating on the internet because it doesn't cost me anything. I just like people to help ME! I really don't know much of anything about boats but I have owned Sea Rays so that tells you where I truly belong. I really just like riding on boats and driving them (preferably someone else's boat and expense of course) and talking about them but I really have no knowledge or interest in what makes them work or what it takes to keep them going. When they break on me (from lack of maintenance or knowledge) I tend to whine about it for years until someone will come fix it for me for free. I'll gladly invite myself on your boat or into your home, or invite you to come work on my boat (because I sure won't work on it myself) and anything else that I can get for free. If you have any organized get togethers I will surely show up (never with a boat though) whether you like it or not because I've proven time and time again that I simply CANNOT take a hint. I really have no problem asking you for your eyeball because hey, you've got another one anyway. I'll be glad to move your boat for you because it's yet another way I can get a free boat ride. I'll even let you pay me for it! Don't worry, I'll treat your boat just like i treat my own so I'll run your 2300rpm Detroits at 2100rpm until something breaks just like I do on my own boat. Also, I have this problem where I tend to pick on those who I may be jealous of and/or feel threatened by intellectually so please try to enjoy my high school bully style attempts to berate and insult others on the forum to hopefully make me seem cool and important. It does make me seem cool and important huh? HUH? Are we having fun yet?[/quote] I just thought I'd return the favor there Freeeboatride. Don't be too upset that you're a bit late to the party. This is just what you needed, ANOTHER internet forum! That public gut shot from your buddy Doug probably still had you dizzy. ;D It's really big of you to finally admit the truth though. I bet you feel alot better now. LOL!

Even I AM LOVING this place already!! Ol FBR has been laying low at the FCB cause the HOF aint fun no mo'. After the initial sarcastic post, I almost told him to GTFOH but, because I am non confrontational (N.C.) I thought I'd let YOU throw yer weight around a little bit... I always love to have someone else do my bidding ymw

You said it though, he posted his usual sarcasm right off the bat and misquoted me, so I merely returned the favor. I would have largely ignored him (like he was supposedly doing to me) but apparently I must be too irresistable to him to ignore!

It seems as if members are having problems adding avatars. I have been able to create a signature and greeting but it is not taking a picture for a dummy account I set up. I will keep working on this and promise to get this worked out. It must be some kind of adminitrational thing I have to adjust. Please have patience till I can fix it....sorry....ppat
