Wooden Ships Comments on this Ron Berry Converted Fishing Boat
30’ fishing boat designed and built by Ron Berry of Weymouth. Worked as a fishing vessel most of her life until bought by the present owners who carried out a major refit with the help of Tim Gilmour in Birdham Pool, Chichester.
The hull was found to be in generally good condition, but the wheelhouse, cappings and interior was all largely renewed. The Original Foden engine was rebuilt and all the systems and wiring replaced.
An excellent sea boat with large aft deck area surrounded by high bulwarks. Spacious wheelhouse with excellent headroom has a galley, heads and 3 bunks in the fore peak.
Big solid fun boat for fishing or family adventures.
