Thanks Marty! It is a local builder up here in Anchorage: glaciercraft.com. I think I posted a link on "the other site" during one of the alloy boat conversations. She will be powered with twin F250's. I will start a new thread and post some picts.

Great pictures Brian. I do a lot shrimping in Prince William Sound. What a treat! We can only fish 5 pots, though. I would guess that we are fishing a bit deeper, too. I fish 600-800' . The season opens Aprli 14th for us. I cannot wait!
