Knot On Duty
2002 American Tug 34 with Cummins 370hp engine.
Knot On Duty is a beautiful American Tug 34. This is just the way you want to find an AT-34; they were great boats coming out of the factory in La Conner, WA, and are best if preserved by a careful owner.
Equipped with the Cummins 6BTA5.9 370-hp 6-cylinder diesel, she will cruise all day while just sipping fuel at 7.3 knots, or you can utilize the semi-displacement planing hull and take her up to about 17 knots if needed to avoid adverse current or cross the Straits in style. A range of 1600 miles will make extended cruising easy.
She has a Garmin electronics suite, including an upgraded Reactor 40 autopilot that integrates with the chartplotters. Side Power bow thruster, Magnum Energy inverter/charger, Onan generator, Espar diesel heat, Reverso oil change system, dual Racor fuel filtration, automatic fire extinguisher, AGM battery bank, a Victron smart battery monitor, Blue Seas electrical panels, and a solar charging system with a Victron MPPT solar controller. She has all the good gear.
This boat has benefited from factory and owner upgrades, including:
- Garmin electronics suite, inclusive of 2 x 8610 MFD, Fantom 18x radar, Reactor 40 autopilot with GHC 50 display, AIS 800, GMI 20 data display (2023)
- New Lifeline 4D AGM house and start batteries (2023)
- Seawise davit system (2021)
- Highfield console tender with 20hp Tohatsu 4-stroke outboard

This is a very nice and low-hour American Tug 34, the perfect cruising boat for Puget Sound, Canada, and Alaska. Come see her at the Tyee Marina in Tacoma, WA.
As you enter the salon from the cockpit, the first impression is of an open & airy space with large windows and plenty of headroom. There are four opening windows with screens and three fixed windows in the salon. The galley is on starboard and the settee on port. Knot On Duty has a blond teak wood interior and neutral Ultraleather upholstery and factory-installed replacement carpeting.
The convertible settee is on port, which makes it into a near queen-size berth. The custom folding table is on a hi-low air spring base. There is a hanging locker in the aft corner.
The staircase to the pilothouse is quite open as the funnel is integral with the deck, and there are no bulkheads separating the salon & pilothouse. Knot On Duty is fitted with an Espar diesel heating system.
