American Beauty Boat Model Kit

Have you dreamed of riding the river as a tug boat captain? Here is your chance with Dumas's version of the American Beauty, built by St. Louis Ships for Argi-Trans Services. This tug measures a whopping 170' in length with a beam of 45' and requires 9' of water when fully loadeded with fuel. Powered with twin 2500 h.p. diesel engines turning two 8' diameter propellers, she typically moves a tow of 20-25 barges each being approximately 200' L x 35' W, moving at speeds of 4 to 9 miles per hour. The Dumas version of the American Beauty starts off with an ABS plastic hull and construction of the superstructure is accomplished through the use of precisely die-cut birch and mahogany plywoods.

To power your Beauty, sold separately, Dumas recommends two Dumas #2004 or #2005 electric motors and running hardware kit #2339, The running hardware is authentic in every detail right down to the twin kort nozzles. Twin forward control rudders and four flanking rudders are included to give you the maneuverability necessary to control your push boat. Other options include an 81 piece deck hardware kit, #2104, which supplies all the detail castings to give her those finishing touches. Also kit 1219 contains all the parts needed to make one box, one raked bow barge and cleats so you an tie your own 4 acres of barges together.
