I like it, it's got character.

It's always nice to see an old workhorse put out to play in the pasture.

Looks like the old gal has been around for awhile,but she has had a nice makeover. She probably likes the fact that she doesn't have to drag nets anymore to earn a living. She lives a good life now. The stainless stack adds to her appearance. What does she have for a powerplant, cummings, gm471, perkins, or a crysler?

Be nice to pull a net to have fresh shrimp to go with the fish. Laughing

I say this cause a buddy of mine has pulled his small net earlier this week and has 18 gal in the freezer.

I've had the same thought for a couple of years. Could probably find an old shrimp boat abandon in some dump harbor or washed up in some flats somewhere.

Dude!
I am absolutely in love with that boat. That is sick!
Only thing I would do different is a remote console on the top, outriggers and removable kayak racks on the sides.
Stunning vessel, stunning!

That's a sweet rig u got there. I like them old boats. You could always get a sportsmans shrimp net to drag when you want shrimp or to feel like a shrimper.
