| - 'Brompton Caribou' is 28 feet 6 inches long, 7 feet 6 inches wide and has a depth of 2 feet 9 inches boat commonly known as a "Gator Tug", or "Winch boat" made by the Russel-Hipwell Engines Company in 1955 and is hull number 1058. It is made with a welded 3/16" steel hull in the clinker configuration and a cabin made of 18 gauge steel. It has a cable steering system with a plate steel rudder, 26" diameter Propeller with a rather heavy duty shield around the prop made of round bar to shop logs and debris from damaging the propeller, English made Lister model FR4 4 cylinder water-cooled diesel engine producing 36 hp at 1,800 rpm and a Twin Disc model MG-61 reversing marine gearbox with a 3:1 gear ratio. This boat also originally had a Russel-Hipweel winch, model W-434 that was driven by a PTO on the front of the engine but it has since been removed. The standard models have a simple rectangle cabin with a large sliding windows on both the port and starboard sides, a smaller sliding window and a door that opens to the inside on the front, and a little sliding door on the back of the cabin. They usually have the exhaust pipe going out through the side of the hull approximately a foot below the bulwarks on an angle facing aft, but many have had the pipe removed and installed going up through the roof of the cabin. There is a cable sheave on each side of the boat by the corners of the cabin up forward on the edge of the bulwarks, 2 at the bow on the inside of the bulwarks, and one larger one right on the bow of the boats, all for the cable to roll on while using the winch. The boats usually also have the hull number on the bow under the larger roller. There is a cleat welded on the inside of the bulwarks on each side up foreword for tying the boat to a dock, and the double bitt on the stern just aft of the cabin for hooking up log booms and tying the boat up as well. The winches on these boats usually carried between 1500–2000 feet of 7/16 steel cable. (en)
