F/V Pocket Mouse

W30FBS, hull 163.  Info received from owner this date:

"POCKET MOUSE" is WLD301630780. The builders certificate indicates that he boat was finished in Venice, California in July 1980 by Ronald B. Ingalls.  The boat is a hull in need of renovation and was set up as a commercial salmon troller. The boat currently is a licensed commercial salmon troller with a vallid and current California Salmon Vessel Permit. Pocket Mouse is still in Bodega Bay, California but will soon be moved to a land storage in Santa Rosa, California for complete renovation.

The owner provided some photos, and says:

This will give you some idea what I will be doing the next couple of years. I really don't know what model this boat is. It has no trunk cabin and the house is obviously a crude plywood laminate. Although the boat has been sitting for over 10 years, the hull so far looks very good. My intention is to take the boat all the way down to the hull and start over with one of the traditional Willard looks. Am I nuts? Probably.

Well, I don't think you're nuts!  It's a good hull, and as long as you enjoy doing the work, it'll be great.
