About this yacht

General Description


US Army Tug, steel, built by Missouri Valley Steel, Levinworth Iron. She saw service in Vietnam under Mowhawk Valley's name. It was purchased for maritime equipment.

Actual Condition


This Tug went through a major conversion to make her a very comfortable live aboard with the ability to work as a tug. She should be capable for being approved by the USCG upon completion for commercial service.


Layout set for master stateroom and head forward, then large galley area, then Saloon.
Belowdecks laid out for head forward, bench and work area, then port and starboard staterooms. This is the old crews' quarters. It has been cleared out and ready for build.
Up from there brings you just forward of the galley.


The ST's had no inside passage to the wheelhouse, but we now have inside stairs with the new wider wheelhouse.


Materials, tools, equipment, line, etc are included.
