We've been looking at many boats and talking to many different owners, and finally, we found the boat for us. It's a 1979 48' Musser with a 14' beam and a 7' draft with a solid fiberglass layup. We're very pleased with our purchase and feel that it will be an excellent addition to our fleet and program.

Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement. This has been one of the biggest trips and decisions we've made in a while and the interactions we've had with you all are very heartwarming.

In 2021, we ventured to Southeast Alaska to check out a new boat. After careful consideration, we decided that it was a great fit for us! Thus the F/V Emerald Isle became a part of our family! After we took possession we wasted no time getting started. You can watch our journey and progress in our chronological playlist!
