“In contrast to all later floating boats, which use a moulded one-piece hull, the hull of these older Town boats (#4005 Tug Boat, #4015 and #4025) is built out of various parts just like the LEGOLAND boats from the seventies. This creates a bit more flexibility, if you have... More some more middle sections you could build a longer boat, or you could replace the middle section with a shorter one and make it even smaller (like #4005).”

“The hull of the ship consists of three elements connected together. In the floating version, two floats with weights are connected under the hull, as can be seen in the photo below. The middle part has a hold, which houses the transported cargo, which is carried by a movable... More boom just behind the bow.”

About Boats

The Boats theme was a LEGO System theme that ran from 1982 to 1996 and consisted of 12 sets. Unlike most town sets, the sets in the Boats, also known as Floating Boats, really did float in water. Initiakky the boats were made from single piece hulls but later sets introduced multi-hulled boats. After 1996 boats became part of the LEGO City theme.
Summary
Boats Freighter set 4015 was released in April 1982, retailing for $15, but has since been retired. New, unopened Freighter sets are valued at $791, while used sets can be found for $54.

These ships are made to sail in the water. To cross the oceans. (Well, ponds or bathtubs!). But they can do much more than that. Because they all have lots of functions and details to make the playing even more fun. There are people, tools and much more, and the ships can be redesigned again and again.
