98' Ft Historic WWII Tugboat

Summary:
Used 1944
Location:
Wrangell, AK
Description:

98ft LOA. 1944 US Army Tugboat M/V Adak built by Clyde Wood - Located in Wrangell, AK; Heritage Harbor.Recent major upgrades to electrical (new panel, controllers, regulator, and shore power), and installation of type II MSD and new marine toilet. We completed a haul out in May 2023 with new copper bottom paint, zincs, and roughly 600 linear ft of 3 inch thick, 6 inch tall, 16ft long Sapele planks, all above the water line midships (starboard and port) put in by shipwright Tom Crane out of Sitka.I've owned this WWII Army tugboat for 4 years and my friend Brendan for 8 years before me. After the war, the boat became a commercial tug working in Vancouver, BC. It then spent time in the puget sound and Gig Harbor before heading to SE Alaska. In Sitka, Brendan raised his first daughter on the boat, wrote a novel called the Alaskan Laundry and eventually started renting it out in the summers on Airbnb. Originally built for a crew of 13, now it is divided into 4 berths, two are singles (twin beds), one is a double (full size), and the entire topside of the boat is what we call the captains quarters (queen size bed) which connects to the wheelhouse. A second shower, head, and stove are located on the top side. An electric heat pump is also installed in the captains quarters. The other berths have electric wall heaters and there is a large wood stove in the saloon. Water Heater is a modern at source unit that runs on propane.2016 hull survey: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WuHHpMuf9_bEY4SWFwdnJnTC12M184N3ZNVjl5dUdxTEhv2017 full survey and valuation:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WuHHpMuf9_YjlPZ2hxSURRT0F4Z2ozeWNsSlZiRTlBN3Uw2023 full survey:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FfVxppchqj_fIeZDyaYgBhlQbnS7qKL7HULL and DECK1.
