Built at Algoma, Wis. in 1980 by Charles and Mike Bohman, and operated from that port. An all-steel 42 ft. fish tug equipped with a Murphy diesel. The boat was later sold to Mike LeClair, Jacksonport, Wis. Confiscated by the state of Michigan, in an illegal fishing matter, the boat was then sold back to another owner in Wisconsin.
