I am about to start the construction of a Springer Tug and have noted that Dave Brumstead featured information on his build of a Springer in Focus on Scale in Model Boats magazine. I have found the initial five features via the internet and would be interested in sighting the remainder. Does anyone know which editions of the magazine these were featured? I would guess around late 2007 or early 2008. Additionally, Dave based the superstructure for his Springer on a Model Boats – Free Plan of a tug called Motorfloat by Dave Mefcalf – any idea of which edition of the magazine this was featured?

Hi

The MotorFlote was featured in the December 1985 Volume 35 issue 418 of Model Boats

As you are about to start construction of a Springer tug , I can highly recommened these 2 sites below , there is a considreable amount of information regarding the construction of this type of vessel on both sites.
