Thats definitely not a Montauk boat. At least the CG is on scene, hopefully they make back ok.

Looks like a longliner that I seen in New Bedford/Fairven up near the bridge

That's it......Used to be an Eastern Rig. Still wood, though. I think she might have been built at Newbert and Wallace. Not sure.

Wood is good?????

The master of the Shamrock reported that a plank in a forward compartment of the vessel’s hull was damaged, causing flooding, and the onboard de-watering pump reportedly could not keep up with the flooding. The crew of the Shamrock was offshore fishing when incident happened.

Wood is ok you just have to pay close attention to it and maintain it, its not like fiberglass hulls and steal hulls. Problem is, many fisherman just want to go out and make money and not haul the boat out regularly to do preventative maintenance. Well its good to hear the boat made it back safely. God Bless
