Big Stack, Just Wing It

Big Stack is Captain Star's second tug. He is used for a variety of tasks around Snugboat Harbor. Usually, because he is the second strongest, it means he is the tug towing heavy loads. Big Stack is based on the tugs of San Francisco harbors from the 1920's.

Bio[]

Big Stack can come across as a rude and stubborn tug, due to his no nonsense attitude, but he has a heart of gold, despite his tendencies to be macho, gruff and tough at times. He is very much willing to set aside his own safety for the sake of others, and usually (but not always) remains level-headed when undergoing a strategy. Big Stack works mainly with Warrior usually towing loads together.

Big Stack is the second strongest harbor tug of the fleet and despite his sometimes abrasive manners, he can be kind and gentle. He is always willing to help out someone in trouble, and uses his great strength to help whenever he can.

Trivia[]

  • In TUGS, Big Stack's original name was Big Mac. His name is not to be confused and has nothing to do with McDonald's famous cheeseburger (it is believed that the name change for Salty's Lighthouse was made to not interfere with a lawsuit from McDonald's).
  • In 2012, the original Big Stack prop was sold to The Star TUGS Trust by an unknown builder, and currently has most of his faces. His faces are often swapped since there are many to pick from.
  • The Big Stack prop was badly damaged when it was first recovered in the 2010s. The model has been partially restored by a model boat enthusiast named Richard.
  • In TUGS segments on the show, Big Stack's name is censored with a black censor bar during post production to avoid his original name "Big Mac" from being shown. This is also the same case with Otis. However, in some shots, his original "Big Mac" name is still there, during wide shots where his name is barely visible.
  • His model was sold to The Star TUGS Trust in 2012 by an un named builder after discovering the props after being thrown out of storage to clear space.
