Because they have pointy bows don't be fooled into thinking they are easily driven. Quite a number of modern lobster boats have 3 - 400hp and leave very big wakes.

I love the look of a LB and my dad had one custom build in Maine using Airex foam sandwich construction. It was built heavy as Dad liked heavy and the word "skookum". She is 36' and powered by a DD 6-71 and made 9 knots. The last owner who just recently sold her put a LOT of work into her. Removed the FB and did a lot of other cabin work. New stove, stabilizers ect ect. That winch is a Kinematics and I'll bet that Forfjord anchor is 100lbs ... or more. Here she is as of last summer.
