The Boat

The Boat...the experience

​

Big Tow was built in the 70's when designers weren't real sure how strong fiberglass was, so they laid it on thick.  They welded her tow bar deep into the stringers and designed a propulsion system that could pull an aircraft carrier off a jagged reef. 

 

We think she is gorgeous, gunnels lined with fenders and a huge cockpit for fishing, diving, recreating.  But, she ain't fancy, and she ain't fast. 

 

Big Tow is first and foremost a working vessel. She is also welcoming and comfortable.
