Question
I wonder what combination of engin/gearbox/propeler would satisfy cruising speed of 16kn, and trawling capabilitys for this boat?
Answer
The vessel was originally designed for offshore set line fishing where a good turn of speed was preferred to load carrying capacity.With an almost National rule that prevents vessels over 9 metres fishing in estaries and bays,this vessel wad designed at 9 metres over the bulwarks and less over the deck where measurement is made. This makes it suitable for estury prawn trawling,with a gallows and winch aft. Also makes a good all round work boat. Hull form is an easily plated single chine. 4mm hull plating. Speed with a 200 hp diesel motor and a 2:1 reduction gearbox is estimated at 16 knots. This would also be suitable for prawn trawling or other light rig trawling.
