70′ towboat renovation
In 2011, Foertsch Group’s recently purchased M/V Lois E was dry docked. She would undergo a major repower and renovation project. The entire hull was cut off and reskinned with new plate. The engines were removed and rebuilt before their return to the boat. The telescoping pilot house was removed and two new decks were added. The second deck houses crew quarters and the pilot house was reconfigured. The majority of the piping was replaced and brought to new standards. Finally, the boat was renamed the Amy M.
