Description
With her rugged New England aesthetic, Tucker is the kind of vessel that commands attention in every harbor she enters, trading modern styling for the functional beauty of a traditional working tug. Designed by James Backus, this late model Victory Tug 37 prioritizes true seaworthiness with a tall, flared bow built to shed heavy seas, a full length ballasted keel and a signature rounded pilothouse that provides the captain with 360-degree visibility. Her canoe-style stern—inspired by classic double-enders—allows her to handle following seas with a level of grace rarely found in contemporary flat-transom designs.
Powered by a dependable 150hp Cummins diesel, she cruises efficiently at 7 knots with an impressive 800–900 mile range and a top speed of 9 knots.
