Description:
2009 150hp Cummins Diesel “Dolores Catherine” is a beautiful wooden vessel that was originally built in 1936 as a shrimper by the Covacevich yard in Biloxi Mississippi. She is a trawler, but a specific style and layout known along the Gulf Coast as a Biloxi Lugger. She is fuel efficient for long passages through coastal water, but her roots are in the barrier islands of the Gulf Coast. The Chandeleur Islands are the most famous of these. This bird sanctuary has been in place long before humans, and it is teeming with redfish, trout and flounder. The nearby Biloxi Marsh is a fisherman and duck hunters paradise. These Biloxi Luggers have traditionally been commercial fishing boats or motherships for small fishing skiffs that are carried on the roof or daisy chained in tow. These Luggers are just as comfortable traveling up and down the coast for a simple joy ride, family picnic, or anchored for the weekend as an escape from modern distractions! “Dolores Catherine” turns heads wherever she goes and is a wood boat festival award winner! This Biloxi Lugger/Chandeleur boat was purchased by its current owner in 2008, and he immediately went to work on an extensive refit to her hull and systems including an Electro Scan system for waste treatment and Cummins factory re-man four cylinder diesel engine for reliability. Extensive hull work has been completed and seller has recommendations for future hull work. Our goal is to find the right buyer who is willing to continue proper upkeep on her and preserve a beautiful piece of Gulf Coast boat-building heritage.
