Click here for my previous Twin Tube posts, Note to self . . . I’d like to see the wheelhouse of this work horse if it ever stops working. Today when I saw the boat, it looked different. Can you see it?
No . . . it has not been renamed Butterfly, as appears between the “legs” of the A-frame.
The boom is missing. Temporary?
The builder and designer behind this long-lived vessel and many others –I’m told–is also responsible for the alphanumerics on this disused rail bridge in Wayne County, NY. Mr Blount painted the date of each year (’50, 55, 91, 97, 03, and 04) he transited underneath this bridge, the lowest currently between Waterford to Lake Erie.

The twin tube started life as a tanker and was repurposed to be a stick lighter.
