Join Date Jan Location St. Augustine, FL Posts Small-Scale Commercial Fishing Boat I am exploring the possibility of commercial fishing wherein the model would attempt to downsize all aspects of the operatiopnin a similar fashion to modern small-scale farming. Make everything smaller than in more common commercial fishing: smaller boat, smaller motor, less fuel, less crew, less overhead. The idea would be for one fisherman working inshore in tidal creeks, ponds, and flats with some work along inlets into the ocean where there commercia, be a substantial chop.
No actual ocean work. Work over the side would be quite common. The fisherman might be going after clams, oysters, shrimp as well as flounder and redfish. The license, if attainable, Small Ocean Fishing Boats For Sale Vietnam represents the only equipment in such Boats Small Fishing a venture that could probably be sold for the original purchase price so small commercial fishing boat plans jump is a consideration, but still represents a significant investment.
I'm thinking dory or skiff, 16''. Extremely shallow draft is important here as there are a number of good flats spots that aren't accessible to other boats, but the boat really does have to float in 12'' of water. The boat should be relatively light and juml trailerable as I think you'd be better off putting in at various locations, fishing a while, then moving on. Propulsion would be small outboard hp with regular rowing or poling if that is more efficient.
There are spots where motorless boats have access to some pretty good grounds so rowing is important. Ideally, it would be a boat that could plane and still row. If a planing hull would be too much of a dog to row, then a displacement type hull would be preferable. It may be, as with so many small business ideas, that the numbers simply don't work. I am quite sure I'd be better off trying to charter some tourist fishermen, but that idea is far less appealing.
I'm not looking to design something new. I'm looking for existing, proven design ideas. Thanks- Aaron. Herreshoff The Compleat Cruiser.
A garvey or a sharpie skiff are the primary conveyance of baymen aka, small-scale commercial fisherman. Plenty of stock designs out. Gardner has plenty, for example. But for the kind of work you describe a boat with vertical topsides no flare allows you to stand up right at the side of the boat. Much easier to haul a dredge, pull a rake. There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.
It's been a tank, and gets used for all sorts of work, like this morning we ran 2 hours worth of water samples over 10 miles of lake.
My hesitation was that she doesn't look like a rower. Have you rowed yours at all? As a straight powered work boat, I can't think of a design that makes much more sense. It gets rowed as a shoreline work boat, and also I use the oars for a trolling motor when I'm trolling for trout or moving the shoreline small commercial fishing boat plans jump the docks for bass.
In fact, a couple weeks ago, I was rowing with lbs of human load and she pulls reasonably. Trick I've found is to set your oarlocks relatively far forward so that you weight the bow and keep the fishinf wet, while picking up as much weight at the transom as possible.
The Sport Skiff with the deeper rocker is the better rower, so build that one. You won't be racing with the rowing shells, but it pulls just fine. I figured I'd rather not have them if building this boat but wondered about stiffness. I'm also curious about the transom height. You had expressed some concern over that and I wondered if you've had any trouble.
You even talked about a. Did you go that route or is the motor still transom mounted? Wow- lot of questions. I like your boat. Never even seen small commercial fishing boat plans jump in the flesh,but from your requirements,i would say she would fit the bill,and the budget perfectly. She's stiff enough as-is, though I think I'm going to add another thickness of rubrail eventually.
Not because it needs to be stronger per se, but because I am really hard on it and I used Spruce so it is taking a beating. I'll probably add a layer of fir or mahogany, whatever I have laying. Transom height is fine, I did the short shaft cutout because it's a lake boat. For bay work, I'd go long shaft or put a well on it. Never shipped much water, but where we crab it might be best to have the protection of a splashwell.
Keep jimp mind that's not well mounting the outboard, just a little addition to the front of the transom so if any water slops in, it drains back.
I'd never consider putting an outboard well in it, it's too small of a boat. Re: Small-Scale Commercial Fishing Boat Bolger 18' Work Skiff A big advantage is being able to work and stand right on the outside of the deck reaching straight down over the small commercial fishing boat plans jump sides.
The design was intended for inshore lobster fishing. Re: Small-Scale Commercial Fishing Boat I actually blew up the lower unit on that 30 this winter it wasn't in deep enough water and night temps were 14Fso I'm now running a The 25 is a better motor and it can haul 4 lb adults in the boat without an issue.
It planed just fine and didn't lose much top speed. My 25 is currently pushing a 14' aluminum hull which probably is fine for pleasure uses, but for commercial uses the LYS seems hard to small commercial fishing boat plans jump. It sure looks like a big 16' boat.
The motor I have now has a small commercial fishing boat plans jump shaft so might work small commercial fishing boat plans jump for a nice high transom. Did you use double sided MDO or single sided? I wonder if there would be a problem using double sided- glue adhesion? Thanks -Aaron.

As I stated above, I'm probably better off trying boag ply the tourist trade, or better yet- leaving what I enjoy alone so I continue to enjoy it.
I just have felt such a feeling small commercial fishing boat plans jump satisfaction pulling bounty from commrcial sea. I guess commerial a little living at it appeals to me in the same way, but making the numbers work is really tough. Re: Small-Scale Commercial Fishing Boat I used double sided on the sides and single sided with the wood sides glued together for the transom. Originally Posted by Paul Pless.

I took a year sabbatical, seven years ago and lived there and worked on her farm a few days a week and spent mornings small commercial fishing boat plans jump evenings on the sound.

One where profitability didn't really matter. I small commercial fishing boat plans jump though that I'm more likely to just play around on the water for fun. Cheers, Bobby. USA Posts 6, Re: Small-Scale Commercial Pllans Boat If you really want to work in shallow draft waters, it might be commercoal while to consider a jet drive outboard motor.
They don't come less than 40HP e. We have shrimp and fish out the ying-yang not that I can seem to catch small commercial fishing boat plans jump so this was to be a means of survival if things got really bad. I say "almost" because the flare in the sides do not help in lifting traps and such over the sides. Edit to add--I rigged cpmmercial system for rowing in an emergency but I've not needed it nor tried it.
Small commercial fishing boat plans jump use thole pins set into small commercial fishing boat plans jump holders in the side decks, and the 9 foot oars from my Goat Island Skiff. I believe I would row it while standing and facing forward since the console sits where I would need to be positioned for sit-down rowing in the conventional manner. Join Date Nov Posts 4,
