Starting on creole queen by Dumas. Third time I’m building this.

Aquacraft Atlantic Tug
I am told this boat has been a "Shelf Queen" all it's life. i.e. Never been in the water. It was a long drive to get it, but I'm happy to have it. It needs a good cleaning, but looks to be mostly in good shape.
