General Description
In 2023 former Brooklin Boat Yard President, Steve White, purchased an unfinished lobster boat hull and deck from D&L Boat Works of Lewiston, Maine who have the reputation of designing and building some of the fastest racing lobster boats on the cost.
Over the course of 2023 and the spring of 2024 the crew here at Brooklin Boat Yard installed a high performance 8-cylinder gas engine, designed and built a new pilot house to protect her crew against the weather and spray, installed all the necessary systems, at the very last minute painted her out with her distinctive and eye-catching Gray, White and International Orange color scheme and gave her the terrific name of RIP SNORTER.
After some quick sea trials RIP SNORTER set off to do what she was made to do and compete in the lobster boat races here on the coast of Maine with her first race being right close by in the Deer Isle Thoroughfare off Stonington, ME.
The Stonington Races took place on July 15th, 2024, and with BBY Chief Operating Officer Nick Carter at the helm, RIP SNORTER came in first in her race (Gasoline Class B- V-8 up to 375 ci 24’ and up).
RIP SNORTER is now offered for sale and while we hope her next owners will continue to race her on occasion, we also hope they will use her for all kinds of adventures here on the coast and have as much fun with her as we have had building her.
