Building a Tug Boat for a Museum

[brig]

Hello all!

I work at a children's museum and we are currently opening a new exhibit about watercraft etiquette and general safety. We have a custom play tugboat that I have been tasked with "decorating" the tugboat. However, I want to make sure it is as legit as possible so I am hoping to get some advice. I grew up on the water and using boats but tugboats seem like a different beast.

Stupid questions:

Do Tugs get names? HINs? etc. What else should be included on the exterior of the Tugboat to make it legit?


Thanks!

Hi Brig,
Have you contacted Foss? They may even paint and decorate it for you. I can get a contact.
