Sold Boat: 2002 American Tug 34

2002 American Tug 34  Hull #20     Cindy T        Sold!




The Cindy T is a beautiful American Tug 34.  Nicely kept by her original owners and in nice original shape.  Moored in Bayfield, Wisconsin on fresh water.  This is just the way you want to find an AT-34; they were great boats coming out of the factory in La Conner, WA and are best if preserved by a careful owner without modifications.

Equipped with the Cummins 6BTA5.9 330-hp 6-cylinder diesel, she will cruise all day while just sipping fuel at 7.3-knots, or you can utilize the semi-displacement planing hull and take her up to about 16-knots if needed to avoid adverse current or cross the Straights in style.  A range of 1600 miles will make extended cruising easy.

She has a Raymarine electroncis suite including ST-60 Tridata, Depth, RL70c Color Radar RL530 color chart plotter and the very capable ST-5000 hydraulic autopilot.  Side Power bow thruster, Air-conditioning, Reverso oil change system, trolling valve on the marine gear, Racor dual fuel filtration, automatic fire extinguisher, AGM battery bank with Blue Seas electrical panels.  She has all the good gear.

Let's go see the Cindy T in Wisconsin.  This is a very nice and low-hour American Tug 34, the perfect cruising boat for the Great Loop, Puget Sound & Alaska, Florida lifestyle or your family's next Expedition.   Call Steve Scruggs 206-930-6139 or Steve@americantugs.com.

New Product: Perfect Tear Paper Towel Rack

Kamenstein Perfect Tear Paper Towel Rack     $15


http://a.co/fcawnxJ


The perfect paper towel rack for the engine room.  Have you ever arrived at your destination and while checking the engine room found your paper towels had unwound with a pile laying in the bilge?  Ever tried to tear off a single towel with one hand, only to unwind three feet?  Me too...


http://a.co/fcawnxJ
I found this product while spending time aboard Breezy Spirit, a really nice American Tug 34 that we recently sold.  The rack has a built in "ratchet" or detents that offer resistance as you pull the towels, the perfect amount of resistance to allow for control.  It is a quality product, and ideal for your engine room.  It would also be great in the galley.  Available in wall mount or counter top configurations.

New Product: Killer Crab Knife

It is no secret on the American Tug News that we like to go crabbing.  The whole experience from being on a boat, getting the traps rigged, waiting... and the eventual hauling the pots back aboard and filling a bucket is enjoyable.  The best part is cooking and eating.  It is the middle step where some have an issue; dispatching the little fellas.  Scout Trading to the rescue!



The Killer Crab Knife     $29.95
Fast and easy 

The heavily constructed stainless knife has a thick back bone and comes with a rubber mallet to make the dispatch fast and safe.  Just lay your victim on his back where a crab becomes motionless and quickly split the crab into two pieces so it is ready to be cleaned.

Scout Trading has offered our American Tug clientele 15% off and they include free shipping.  You will want two; keep one at home and another aboard your boat.

Discount code 15OFF  at checkout.  See: www.crabknife.com/
