Webber Marine builds combination salmon gillnet halibut longliner

摘要

Innovative Cordova boat builder Bill Webber is again taking Copper River gillnetting one step further by building his biggest, most powerful jet bowpicker yet for Cordova gillnetter Rick Dallas. The 34-foot by 12-foot aluminum vessel is designed to serve multiple fisheries, built to work in Dallas' halibut fishery and on-board processing for his direct-marketing salmon business. Powering the bowpicker is a Lugger L6140-A2 engine delivering 600 horsepower through a Twin Disc MG5082-SC marine gear to a Doen DJ 140 waterjet drive. "This is the largest single jet propulsion package we've ever put in a boat," Webber said.
