INSLEY DREDGE TENDER: N.E. Insley, Inc., Crisfield, Md., recently delivered a new 35-foot dredge tender powered by o CAT D-330TA with a Twin Disc 3:1 hy- draulic gear. The vessel, shown above, was built and delivered to Lance J. Eller, Inc. of Tasley, Va., for use with the 14-inch portable dredge. Designed for use for both pushing and towing, the vessel has full headroom in her engine room, as well as a seat which converts to a berth during long tows. The vessel swings o 34-inch by 40- inch four-blode wheel and draws approxi- mately three feet when fully loaded. The hull design has proved to be very maneu- verable and easily handled under all con- ditions. N. Edward Insley, president of N. E. Insley, Inc., also reports that a 40-foot tender for undisclosed interests is nearing completion and that these vessels will be offered as stock boats in the future.
