An annually inspected U.S. Coast Guard "T" Boat.
It's a safe, dependable, sturdy 19 gross ton, 50' long by 16' wide custom bay built dead rise charter fishing vessel which is USCG licensed for up to 49 passengers.
The vessel and hull was conceived and designed by Capt. Jim Brincefield, Mike Hutchins of Charter Marine Service and by shipwright Ronnie Carman of Crisfield, Maryland in the Winter of 1997.
In the spring and summer of 1998 Mr. Carman built the custom hull by hand. Mr. Hutchins took over from there and finished the cabin and installation of the motors and running gear under the supervision of Capt. Jim Brincefield.
Capt Al Jones and Capt. Jim Brincefield brought the vessel home to Deale, Maryland in September of 1998 where they were joined by Capt. Vince Austin to assist with finishing the vessel. So the 4 of us, Capt. Jim Brincefield, Capt. Al Jones, Mr. Mike Hutchins and Capt. Vince Austin worked night and day for more than three weeks to get the vessel finished. It was quite a task, but we finished the vessel and had our U.S. Coast Guard inspection and stability test completed and passed on 10/1/98. We continue to make improvements on the vessel every year in the off season.
