Matthew Carlson commments (Aug. 23, 2019): "I forget what its original name was, I had the original wheel from it. I got it off the guy who owned it when he converted it from a fish tug to a charter boat and converted it from cable to hydraulic steering. I gave it to a coworker of mine for a case of beer. The guy told me it was actually a Russel Brothers built hull, sold to the original owner as a bare gutted hull with nothing and the customer built it up from there."
