power

[was up88]

i am a noob geting a vac u tug jr and was wondering if it has a lot of power and what is the largest boat it could move ?

If it is the same motor used in the vac-u-tow, which I'm sure it is, you could probably pull yourself in a jon boat. I have to run my tow at an idle without a barge on the front cause it will push itself under with all the power it has.

Wasup88, check out the website.It tells you what is included in the power train and says,if your going to be using the tug for heavy duty jobs, order the upgraded power train.Basically, its a four bladed prop,instead of the stock two bladed one.If I were you,I'd really give the website a thorough going over.Its really very helpful.Good luck and have fun.
