Uncle Pug (the boat) is a 28x10 glass~over~wood commercial urchin, sea cucumber, crab, and octopus boat powered by a single 6 cyl. Izuzu diesel and makes about 7.5 kts. It can carry a serious load and is equipped with a hydraulic hoist and boom.
The boat was a gift and has been used as is for a year but will this winter receive some serious attention in the form of a new cabin (maybe well just put some tar-paper on the roof and call it good) as well as a three-foot stern extension in the form of a water level dive platform. This should make getting on the boat easier as old geezers like Detroit Diver have a hard time. It will also allow a slight increase in speed. We also plan to add seating with tank holders on top of the center hatch.
Currently Uncle Pug (the boat) is green but that might change if too many more boats start sporting green paint. It used to be the only green boat in port but imitation being the sincerest form of flattery that is starting to change. At least Uncle Pug (the boat) is the only one with peeling green paint!
Admired wherever it goes we are used to the longing glances of fellow mariners and the cheerful waving of fingers by fishermen as we arrive on site and hoist our dive flags.
