It's probably not fair to class our Fred Murphy as a
"mini-tug" since it's capable of serious
cruising whether for work or play. The deep draft
displacement hull has the seakindliness and feel of a little
ship whether you build the short or longer option, both of
which use the same plan set. The spacious forward cabin
includes two 6' 6" berths with space for a head
below and with hanging lockers aft both sides. Additional
storage is below the berths and whatever one arranges in the
deckhouse, which can be outfitted with additional
accommodations, galley, and helm station as desired. You can
even lengthen the house a couple of feet for more enclosed
space if you wish.
