My Uncle Oz has been a tugboat captain for years and he just got promoted to run the new flagship that runs from Tampa to New Orleans. Its still being built in Pensacola, but it has 6,000hp, z-drive with a 65ft height of eye. When coupled with her barge the overall length will be 556ft, beam 90ft with a 22 ft draft. He said his other one on the East coast does well trolling for Wahoo. Pretty sure this one won't be getting skinny.
