Owner Experience Review

Owners and crews who know the Custom Commercial Fish Crab FreezerbyCUSTOMtreat it as what it is: a 1977 all-welded steel, freezer-equipped workboat originally built as a refrigerated shrimp trawler and later used in the deep-water golden-crab fishery. With single-screw Caterpillar 3412 propulsion and an indicated cruise around 12 knots, it favors heavy-displacement, slow-cruising performance over speed or nimble maneuvering. The layout prioritizes a freezer/work deck and processing, while the crew spaces are spartan—about two cabins for six berths and one head. Enormous tankage (roughly 20,000 gallons of fuel and 3,500 gallons of water) supports long commercial trips rather than weekend leisure.

Recent brokerage language—“put her to work or convert her further for personal use”—captures the crossroads for this vessel. Converting the Custom Commercial Fish Crab Freezerinto a comfortable private platform would require a significant interior refit, and current condition adds caution: the boat has reportedly been dry-docked for two years, and public comments in the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council transcripts reference “Little Brothers”—a 77' shrimper of this description—with one participant remarking, “If you gave me the boat, I wouldn't take it. It's that destroyed.” In practical terms, prospective owners should plan for steel-hull maintenance (coatings, anodes, plating inspection/repairs) and be aware that 3412-series engines can demand costly injector/HEUI attention and overhauls. For a buyer seeking commercial endurance and onboard freezing/processing—or a robust platform to rebuild—the opportunity is clear, provided the refit and recommissioning scope is addressed upfront.

Pros and Cons

• Long-range endurance from approximately 20,000 gallons of fuel and ~3,500 gallons of water, suitable for extended trips.
• All-welded steel, heavy-displacement hull designed to work loaded offshore with stable, seakindly behavior.
• Freezer-equipped work deck supports onboard fish/crab processing and offers conversion potential for specialized or personal use.
• Slow-cruising single-screw workboat performance, around 12 knots and less maneuverable than pleasure yachts.
• Crew-style accommodations (2 cabins/6 berths/1 head) are spartan and would require significant refit for comfortable leisure use.
• Condition and maintenance risks: the boat has been dry-docked for two years, steel hulls demand ongoing plate/coating work, and CAT 3412 overhauls can be costly.
