This Berry Boat is over fifty years old and after considerable loving care is still in commercial use.
The work involved installing a new after deck and replacing several planks, ribs and frames plus new engine bearers. The boat was completely re-caulked.
Two years later the forward section of the boat had similar work carried out including a new cabin floor, several new ribs and frames replaced as well as a new cabin interior. This work was carried out without removing the main deck.
