Nichols Boat Company, a boat and barge builder in Greenville, Miss., recently completed a 3,400 hp. twin-screw towboat with Tier 4 engines, built on speculation. "Due to COVID, we decided to build a spec boat and keep valued staff busy and paid," said Joe Nichols, president. Nichols Boat Company is an offshoot of Nichols Propeller Company, which has been active in marine repair for more than 30 years. Nichols Boat fabricates parts for its towboats at two remote sites and then does assembly, hull erection and final outfitting at Mississippi Marine's facilities on Harbor Front Road in Greenville. Nichols Boat has a long history of building quality towboats for customers that include Magnolia Marine and Jantran. |
