§ 01OverviewHull H-242

The brief, and how we answered it

Barataria Seafood fishes a demanding schedule, and steel hulls were eating their maintenance budget alive. They came to us for an aluminum boat that would shrug off corrosion and keep more days on the water.

We built a rugged hull with reinforced working decks, a deck crane, and refrigerated seawater holds sized for multi-day trips. The layout puts the gear and the crew exactly where the work happens, with clear, safe paths around the deck.

Aluminum's light weight pays back at the fuel dock and in the holds — more catch capacity for the same horsepower, and far less time and money lost to rust over the life of the boat.

Challenges Solved

Steel was eating the maintenance budget

Corrosion pulled the fleet's old steel boats off the water for repairs far too often, costing fishing days the operation couldn't get back.

Catch quality fading before the dock

Without proper refrigeration, long trips meant landing a lower grade of catch. The new boat had to protect value all the way home.

§ 04The Outcome

Lower upkeep, longer trips, bigger landings
