44' Monk Converted Salmon Troller (1947) - DUKE

47ft LOA 1947 Ed Monk Sr designed converted salmon troller.

Present owner since 2015, she has been owned by conscientious and caring owners her whole life. A very cozy live aboard, excellent history, and she turns heads. She’s been in Bellingham and the San Juan Islands since I’ve owned her, and she’s well known in the area.

Currently in Cayou Quay, Orcas Island.

Since I’ve owned her she’s had a few major hull repairs and engine work. She is ready for her next caretaker and has many decades of service in her.
