Desco Marine announced today the addition of three new multipurpose fiberglass hulls to their existing lines of commercial fishing boats.

According to Desco vice president Emerson

Shank, Desco purchased the molds from Rob- ert McCoy of Jacksonville and will offer the boats rigged for either commercial or sport fishing. The hull sizes include a 29, 37 and 46 foot size that can be used for long-lining, gill- netting, bottom fishing, snapper/grouper, sport and charter fishing.

The molds were first used by Sermon's Boat

Yard of Tarpon Springs, Fla. where they de- veloped a reputation for quality with fisher- men in the Southeastern Coastal United States.

Desco will equip these boats with single or twin screws and plans to develop a police or military patrol boat where there is a need for speed.

In addition to the Sermon FRP molds, Desco has added three larger fiberglass hulls with a 60-, 65-, and larger 90-foot hull with extra room for various types of onboard processing
