Tugs
"Springer" class tugs are actually based on truckable towboats (also know as truckable push boats). These ae from a design and specifications developed by a model boater back in the 9180's in California. The though was to have a competitive class by maintain basic specifications (hull size and shape, motor, prop, rudder, and a few other items). "Springers" could be used as a rescue boat but many are used for competitive games such as water polo, soccer, etc. The SSMBC-Springer page shows the specifications for building your own Springer, either scratch or from Zippkits.
