Do one job.  Do it well.

Legendary North Carolina builder Sunny Briggs tells me he built this boat custom for Peter Pulitzer in 1984. Now, you do know who we’re talking about, right?…

So, after you get done impressing your buddies with stories of her lineage – you and “Shotgun” can take them out fishing.  One job, done well.

From her sleek looks, to her simple and clean interior, to her top quality machinery – this boat is built for just one purpose.

When you’re ready to go, give us a call.

The hull construction is fiberglass over diagonal double-planked fir. Frames are 3 1/2 x 5″ sawn, and bulkheads are 1 1/2″ fir.  The deck is fiberglass over marine plywood.

Surveyor’s comments from May, 2010 include; “The vessel was found to be basically sound and has been continuously maintained to good marine standards….there was no significant deterioration of framing, longitudinals, bulkheads or planking.” Copies of the appraisal available to qualified buyers.

“Shotgun” is out of the water in Palm Beach Gardens.

Pacific Marine Foundation is a Seattle area nonprofit organization supporting arts and education programs through boat donations.

This boat is available though our charter with option to purchase program. Details on request.
