Re: Welder Bob
I know ,I've be really bad about taking pictures. We shipped one of our 20'Sea Mule flat bottom boats to a local dredge company. I didn't get one pictures, hoping to get out to there dredge job to see the boat working. Will get a few pictures of the 34' we're currently building tomorrow. We also started building fuel tanks for Stiegercraft. Of course there non-alloy, but at least we got together to keep the work local.

Re: Welder Bob
just typed a big long post only to lose it trying to attach the picture, now you get the short version. Put an aluminum deck on top of a 35' old houseboat hull. The yard did all the smell glass work and left us with bulkheads to bolt big angle on and weld our 1/4" deck to. Now we had something to work with. Built a 10 hp hydraulic power pack(which the customer rigged ) from an old sailboat diesel . Connected the pump to the transmission with a custom coupling and bracket. The "a" frame isw about 20' tall, not my idea. A little to tall for me. The capstan on the aft deck takes up the slack chain and the "A" frame lifts the anchor moves it to the deck. A 300 gpm hydraulic wash-down washes down the mud.

Re: Welder Bob
The boat is either the 35' Ocean Raider or the 41' Sea Monster. The 41' was originally The Queen Bess. they were both build by Tom Carney IE Thomas Marine. The 41' was the best riding boat he every built. Last I saw it it had been sold and was in Mass for a while, then made its way back to LI. I did a little work on it when it came back here about 4 years ago. It had a pair of 71 series vovlos that were souped -up to 480 hp (now they come that way ).
I worked with Tom when the Ocean Raider was built. A pair of 300 hp Cummins . Very nice riding boat for its size. Both those guys liked to bottom fish. The hulls were a modified twist ,Great boats to sit on anchor fishing a wreck.

a LITTLE WEB RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE BOAT IS THE "OCEAN RAIDER"

Re: Welder Bob
Been wondering, maybe someone knows if "that" show is the new "wicked Tuna" just with a new name... Or is "wicked Tuna" coming back on also?
I liked Wicked Tuna better. They just had to toss the guy in there with the big plastic clorox bottle sportfish huh?
UGH.
