I'm probbing the idea that it's time to consider selling our family airlume-. About the boat- originally built in the 1920's by Major Casey of fairhaven, MA documented length 52'. She was professionally glassed over 6 years ago. She is powered by a freshly rebuilt Detroit 8v71. She holds 500 gal of fuel in 2 tanks, approximately 100 gal fresh water and 60 gal waste water tank. A schooner hull design, she spent the last 80 years as a commercial fish dragger out of Provincetown MA. 3 years ago my late father converted her fish hold into an expanded focsul, his dream was to spend 'retirement' on board up and down the East coast, and last year he achieved his goal. She's presently in the water and mostly retired. I would say she's 75% coastal cruiser and 25% fishing boat. Currently one of, if not the last working eastern rig dragger in America.
All fishing related gear would be removed with the exception of the hydraulic capstan and outriggers (stabilizers).
If your still interested, Google search F/V Richard and Arnold and you'll find tons of pics, articles and history.
I don't have a firm price, and I won't sell her to just anyone. (I'm not even sure the family is emotionally ready to part with her, but reality says it's time to start getting ready). Call or message me for further details. 508-280-2642. Bob
