Wow that thing is cool!

I haven't taken pictures, but there is a Munson drop bow sitting at my work shop..

Pretty stoutly built, nice weld quality... Definitely built to a bid spec though.

Changed the title to facilitate adding pictures of other boats as I get them.

The Munson is definitely "bid spec". After 12 years of running around on CG boats, I was still impressed.

Here are some pics of Mavrik Marine's latest creation.

After watching the Bristol Bay tv show and looking at some of collateral denting, I can understand why they build thos BB so dam stout.

And then they put those tiny fenders all the way around hoping it will help?

Boy, that is a shiny one! I saw a great big Munson with the words "research" on the side headed down Highway 305 on Bainbridge the other day. Thanks for the pics.

She was probably 36-38' long and 11-12' wide. Just an unreal boat. Loosely based on the old Hammerhead design as far as I can tell.

Belongs to a friend, Eric Parker, monster Munson. Has a three point anchoring system so he can fix his position right over a dive or sediment sampling location, giant A-frame, load ramp, moon pool, hydraulics everywhere . . .
