New Model: American Tug 485

The all new 485 American Tug is now in the water and in the hands of her owner. Hull's two through four are under production at this time. This exciting new project takes over where the original 49 Limited left off. With additional length in the salon and galley over the 435, this model will lend itself to full time live aboards and extended cruising. The performance will be exceptional with the standard 550hp Cummins engine and optional 405hp commercial rated QSL9. Standard fuel is 2400 liters giving her a range over 1500 nautical miles. The 485 comes equipped with a nice standard list which includes Sidepower variable bow and stern thrusters. Overall, the 485 appeals to yachtsman looking to explore beyond the horizon but one who refuses to leave the comforts of home behind. The sea-keeping ability of the proven Lynn Senour designed hulls will keep you calm in the roughest of conditions.
