The vessel is the last Trawler manufactured by Hatteras and is Hull number 429.

We consider it to be in excellent shape, and well maintained. For example, a diver cleans the bottom monthly, the hull is washed top to water line monthly (more often if needed), we had two new coats of Imron applied two years ago, and the Flybridge has Lexan windows and a new (this month) heavy canvas Bimini.  All five Lexan windows are zippered and can be opened if desired.

The after deck is also Bimini Covered, with a removeable canvas sun shield that can be zippered stern, port or starboard as desired.  The aft-deck moveable PVC table seats six comfortably with the typical white and blue plastic chairs.
