Here is a picture of my Company's work boat.



We use it for beach seines, sediment grab sampling, towed video, and many other reserach items.

It also gets to recreate at times. We have a pair of electric Scotty's for "hook and line" sampling.

It is a 20 foot Offshore Sport, originally powered with a Yamaha 115 and an 8 hp 4-stroke. We replaced the 115 with a brand new 150 last fall and it really pumped up the power curve. The 150 pushes this thing along as fast as I want to go in Puget Sound. We put close to 700 hours on the original power plant in just under 3 years. The Yamahas are strong and sure footed.

We got the 54 gallon fuel tank. We also specified that we didn't want the side rails, since we would be dragging a net over side and people routinely getting in and out over the water. We don't miss the side rails.

We stuck abouot $4,000 worth of Raymarine electronics on the dash for navigation, depth, and fish finding. Great package.

Bottom line -- we love the Wooldridge. This thing works hard every week.

Happy hunting.
