    I think with two beefy out runners, 42mm props on 14.8 lipos it should be a very powerful boat. However I like big boats properly engineered. Well done. 😀

Northsider
Northsider built from a Tyne Model kit
History M.T. Northsider & M.T. Ironsider:
Completed April 1967, at Richard bunston Hessle for the Lawson
Batey Tug Co. Ltd., at a cost of £106,500. Then chartered to the Tyne & Wear Tug Co. Ltd., working on the Tyne for harbour towage. Also visiting other UK and European ports during many coastal tows. After a long and eventful service on the Tyne, sold in 1996 to BaltagI Pilots in Bahrain and renamed 'BaltagI 6' there it remains in service today. M.T. Ironsider Completed September 1967, a sister ship to the Northsider, also chartered to the Tyne Wear Tug Co. Ltd., until 1992. Then sold to Proodos Maritime Co., Piraeus and renamed 'MegaloharI 12' still in service today.
Both tugs are similar to Alexandra Towings Tug, 'Sauria' which, was based at Felixstowe, UK. .
