1981 Fred Lenfesty Boat Shop Lobster
“Moonshine”
Built in Jonesport, Maine, this rugged lobster boat has won quite a few races! She was converted to pleasure use in the 1990s and 2014 had a 425 HP Crusader installed and was re-wired. She turns heads with her graceful sheer, low profile, and spacious cockpit. A lovely Maine Downeaster.
