Does anyone have a clue to what the asking price should be on a BNO-40 that is complete and just needs paint?It has 6 new tires and runs fine.

Hi Mike:

It's Bob in PA, the guy with bits and pieces of three tugs around and trying to make one out of them.

Two tugs sold at the Palmer Fossum auction. Neither was complete. One needed a body. I was contacted by the guy that bought them and he was looking for parts. I hooked him up with a body that I knew about in Ohio. He is NOT computer literate and has no email. I can give you his phone number privately if you want.

If I were you I would call Dwight Emstrom, the President of the F/FCA. Dwight owns a tug and has restored and sold a couple of tugs years ago. Dwight was at the PALMER FOSSUM auction and he knows what the tugs sold for.

You would need the right buyer. Not everybody wants one. I know that the Smithsonian is sort of interested in one as is the USS Intrepid museum, but both of them want a flat out donation.
