I had a 5 year MCA inspection in July 2023. All that was required was fire dampers for engine room vents, drip pan under racor fuel filter, fastenings on engine box and emergency fuel shut off. All have been done.

Nothing is hired aboard the boat, all owned including life-raft.

This is a very reluctant but necessary sale to be able to purchase a bigger boat. I have had the Bonnie Grace for 11 years and in that time have used her in multiple fisheries effectively. She is a fantastic all rounder from hauling nets in 35-40 fathom of water to hauling pots in shallow water tight to the shore.
