American Tug 365
From 2005
The American Tug 365 is a Lynn Senour-influenced raised-pilothouse semi-displacement cruiser built for efficient coastal passagemaking. It combines a single-diesel shaft layout, protected running gear, wide working decks and couple-oriented accommodations with substantially more beam and displacement than trailerable tug-style cruisers.

Best for
- Couples planning extended coastal or Great Loop cruising
- Owners prioritizing pilothouse visibility, tankage and robust deck access
- Buyers comfortable with conventional yacht-scale storage and maintenance
Trade-offs
- Beam and displacement require conventional marina, haul-out and storage infrastructure
- Single engine provides no second-engine propulsion redundancy
- More complex and costly to own than trailerable pocket cruisers
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Confirm exact 34/365 naming and model year from HIN and factory records
- Inspect engine, cooling, exhaust, shaft, rudder and full-length keel/running gear
- Inspect pilothouse doors, windows, deck hardware and cored structures for leakage
- Inspect fuel, water, waste, generator and electrical systems and verify tank condition
