Whilst down at Poole photographing the Tyne class lifeboat for a forthcoming plan in Model Boats. I noticed a very funny looking vessel waddling along with a load of cut logs on it, and realised that it was being powered by two of the Motorflote push tug units.

I therefore dug out the magazine on returning home and I felt I had enough details to produce a reasonable looking scale model, one that would be very different, yet however which could be built by the absolute novice in no more than a week of evenings, and could be made for under a fiver!

In Real Life

The Motorflote is in fact a standard Uniflote pontoon unit with a Mermaid diesel engine fitted driving a four bladed propeller in a Burness Corlet Towmaster nozzle and rudder system. All in all, a rather complex and expensive system for a modified pontoon! The idea is that the unit can maneuver and position the Uniflotes to form bridges, powered pontoons etc. The unit can though be used as a general workhorse and push anything around really
