Historical Notes

Larro Huntley (Email to Nauticapedia 04/10/2023) stated "we are changing it back to the original. We are in the process of revitalize the boat to its glory. The name was changed to Shedoni in 2021 when Gregory S O’Claray purchased it from Phillips Fish Co.

He passed away on the boat in (I believe) October of 2021. I purchased it from the family and am converting it to a trawler from a pleasure craft. I’m kinda superstitious and don’t like the name change lol. The engine was changed to a 3306 Cat also."
