Naah, I got the pic from Martinac themselves. Shipyard is in Tacoma Washington, and that boat was purpose built as a seiner. One could possibly make a trawler out of it, but why ruin a perfectly good round haul boat of that size?
I went to that web page looking for good 'shippy' lines, for Martinac has long been known for producing some real beauties when it comes to open water seiners. Some of the bigger ones 210' 220' or back in the 70's were even prettier. The big flaring bows are distinctive, I'd recognize them anywhere, even though they may not be all that practical. It's great when punching into a sea, (save for some extra windage) and the seas just curl away from the cap rails, but once the bow get's buried, all that well shaped flare to the forward bulwarks turns into a giant scoop.
This much smaller 75' boat, in heavy weather would catch a load of windblown spray on the bow, and buck so hard (up bows) that it would toss the water high enough for the wind to carry it aft and soak a guy when on the back deck. We used to laugh about it, when we weren't cussing it.
But it was fun to watch the water peel off the caprails when trying to get around around Cape Mendocino in a blow. Boat built in Rockport, Texas, Rockport Yacht & Supply Company (RYSCO) in the mid-Seventies. Vessel now scrapped, sadly enough. This was the first RYSCO of this design. There were many later, but with subtle changes, making them overall better boats. Picture taken in Morro Bay, CA. [but not by me].
Vessel as picture rigged for bottom trawl, but the trawl cables still configured to run wire out to the blocks on the ends of the outriggers, Gulf Shrimper style, then angle back towards the stern to run through towing blocks hanging off the outwards facing arms, or gallows, of net reel assembly. Pictured is the second net reel and gallows set-up that boat carried after cutting a stern ramp into her, and switching over from double-rig shrimp, to single-rig bottomfish trawl.
