1996 28 Feet Samson Lobster Boat Pleasure - Picnic - Cruiser - Work etc

Samson Enterprises in Nova Scotia builds these solid fiberglass boats and they do a pretty nice job. She is built some rugged. With her John Deere power she is very economical as well.

Rigged for lobstering on the port side, her engine box is amidships and makes a handy place to set things. Dry exhaust behind the helm will help warm the pilothouse with the sliding doors closed.

Good access to the bilges and mechanicals via heavy fiberglass hatches.

Standing head room below with 2 full size berths. Owners used for cruising when not lobstering.
