Help ID this Downeast found in Freeport TX "Flounda Pounda"

[Red Snapper]

Hi, Im a long time boater, but new to DE Forum. We don't see many DE boats on the Gulf Coast, but I saw this nice looking Downeaster. It looks like it is set up with a scuba tank rack on the back deck.

Does anyone know what kind of boat this is? Manufacturer? You gotta love the name. Flounda Pounda.

nauset 28, think they were built for a while by harris

I think the harris cuttyhunk boats got the proportions of the top to hull just right. The windshield layout and visor is perfect.
Don't think the nauset changes are as nice.
Anyway, flounder pounda is awsome

Boat was in Hingham, MA about 10 years ago and had sat for a while. Remember watching a guy and his wife pick away at it over time to bring it back to respectability.

Wondered what happened to it
