Matthew Carlson comments (March 2018): "Bought another boat! It's a 22'x 7.5' Russel Brothers open boat originaly named Brompton Mink from the Brompton Pulp & Paper Company in Red Rock (same place that owned my boat) it was used for moving logs and beach combing back in the day. Dampiers owned it in the 90's and sold it to this other guy in the 2000's. It has a Chrysler Marine flathead 6 gas engine in it, I might eventualy repower it with a diesel engine. Will be a nice little boat for fishing on the river."
