Mooring Boat Model for Cooper/T. Smith Mooring

Commissioned 1/16th scale model of the Chief Perez Mooring Boat for Cooper/T. Smith Mooring. These mooring boats can be seen on the Mississippi River tying up ships and barges to docks and mooring buoys.

From a PDF General Arrangement drawing and numerous photos and measurements I took of the actual boat, I created vector drawings and 3D models to laser cut the hull and 3D print the console, throttles, steering wheel, railings, seat, outboard motors, propellers, cleats and life rings.

3D printed railing stanchions.

3D printed outboard motor.

Hull laser cut from .0125" acrylic sheet.
