Definitely the Best" MMHMHHM » r "When the decision was made to order four ___ new tow- boats built to Peavey's requirements, we wanted the best. I've been person- ally acquainted with St. Louis Ship for 25 years, but we visited other yards too. It was a big decision to make, so we took a look at everything available. St. Louis Ship was selected due to the overall quality and performance of their Hydrodyne Hull. As far as I'm concerned, they're definitely the best on the river." That's what Floyd Goodman, Peavey's Director of Towboat Operations told us, , T"TTB f » r ' « WS - T f~ I • • • when we asked why they had specified St. Louis Ship. The four 3800 HP Hydrodyne towboats are exact duplicates, measuring 140'x 38' x 10.5'. They were christened the M/V Frederick B. Wells, M/V Frank T. Heffelfinger, M/V Mary H. Morrison and M/V Frank H. Peavey. They are used to push Peavey's fleet of over 200 covered hopper grain barges. St. Louis Ship would like to put its exper- ience to work for you too.
