There has been a 45 foot dragger on the Southeast Connecticut Craiglsist for a while now, probably could be had for short money.

I am blocked from CL right now or I would find the link.

This one has been for sale for awhile. Not sure if glass over wood means wood or fiberglass in your case........

Find yourself a 29 Osmond H&H.

The hull was designed for dragging. Will swing up to a 28" wheel.

For what it's worth,

Any reason why you want such a small dragger? What is the max LOA?

 

[unclefish]

yes max loa, plus with our small quotas there is no need for big boat, or it will be sitting at the dock like the rest of them. it doesn't make sense cause fuel is so expense compared to fish prices and small quotas. hard to find a good solid work boat that is wide and good on fuel i am finding out. the 32 mitchell cove would be the perfect boat that every one is telling me pretty hard to find one around 35 to 45k that has decent motor in it. my boat now is 10'4 at stern 28 long . nice little boat but looking for some more speed and a downeast hull.

I have something that is more fuel effecient than and faster than a 29 H&H but it is a bigger boat. The deck was constructed to handle dragging gear but none was ever installed.
