Casey Yacht Enterprise in Freeport is going to be pretty busy this winter. They just fi nished doing some repair work on a Padebco 21 outboard boat. This included some carpentry work followed by paint.
Coming in next would be a Webber’s Cove 22 with a jet drive. She was going to have her varnish redone.
In the other bay they had a Pointer 23, which had been fi tted with a house. They will be fi nishing the house and then painting the
boat from top to bottom.
After this they have a BHM 28 coming in for some carpentry work. She also has wet core in the transom and this will be repaired. Once all this is done she will have her bottom refi nished and painted.

This Biscayne Bay 14 is getting refi nished at Eric Dow's Boat Shop in Brooklin.

Farrin’s Boat Shop in Walpole launched a Holland 38 late last fall as a lobster boat for a local fi sherman. Holland shipped them the hull and trunk cabin, which also included the washboards.

repower jobs. The fi rst will be on the Wayne Beal 36 lobster boat from New Harbor. She originally had a Cummins C-Series engine and this will be swapped out with an 8.3 Cummins. Also coming in is a Mitchell Cove lobster boat from Matinicus. She is currently powered with a 3116 Caterpillar and this will be removed and replaced with an 8.3 Cummins. They just fi nished repowering a 34 South Shore for a local fi sherman. She originally had a gasoline engine and this was replaced with a 205 hp Caterpillar diesel, which had been bought in Canada. She was also rewired. A major project this winter will be on a South Shore 38 lobster boat which went ashore this summer off Vinalhaven. The hull damage includes approximately 15 feet of repairs to the keel and a four foot square section on the port side. They will also have to replace all the systems as well as the engine.
