1998 MiniTug Launch

Launched in Gibsons B.C., 1998. I found this old video, which was converted from tape to disc in some sort of unix format, so I wasn't able to edit it. We were pretty enthusiastic about it. It performed well beyond its designed intent, as it was not really meant to plane. But with a 50HP Honda, a Handler nozzle and a flat bottom, well, there you go. 5 to 15 HP would be a normal installation. See our other video, with 11 HP. She was built for a California owner, who used it as an oil spill response vessel, and looked quite burley with a big ol' bow pudding.
