A beautiful example of a classic Chesapeake Bay-style deadrise, originally built in 1980 by Dickerson Boat Builders on a solid fiberglass hull for use as a Department of Natural Resources patrol vessel. She remained in service until the mid-1990s, when purchased by her current owner.

At that time, she underwent a comprehensive refit, including repowering with twin Detroit Diesel engines, a full rewire, and updates to better suit recreational cruising and enjoyment-while retaining her rugged, workboat heritage.

More recent upgrades include a new Garmin chartplotter/fishfinder/radar suite and a Fusion stereo system, both installed in 2023.

This vessel offers a rare blend of proven commercial-grade construction, classic Chesapeake lines, and thoughtful modern updates.
