Floating Drydock Delivered By St. Augustine Trawlers

Another innovative first for St.

Augustine Trawlers, Inc., St.

Augustine, Fla., the Capt. Tony, a 100-foot by 40-foot floating drydock, was completed recently for Duzich Trawlers of Newport News, Va.

Duzich Trawlers operates 34 St.

Augustine trawler vessels in steel and wood. Marion Duzich recently stated, "I realized the need for this type drydock for my operation if for nothing other than normal maintenance. It was designed for and will completely take care of my needs both for maintenance and repairs." St. Augustine Trawlers is one of the largest commercial boat manufacturers in the world. It expanded from one type boat, wood, to boats of steel and fiberglass as well in only eight years of operation.

"With our acreage, building and employment expansion, we decided to live up to our name of diversified manufacturer and add other lines and designs to our operation.

This is just one of the new things we have ongoing at this time and have accepted orders for several additional drydocks," said Jerry Thompson, general manager.
