Rhonda Kathleen, 74-Foot Shrimp Boat,
Placed In Service
A 74-foot, steel-hull shrimp boat, one of the most modern in the Texas Gulf Coast area, has been put into operation recently by Vernon Bates Jr. of Palacios,
Texas. Named the Rhonda Kath- leen, it is powered by a Stewart & Stevenson-supplied Detroit Die- sel 12 V 71n engine driving through Twin Disc marine gear to a 63-inch by 57-inch Michigan four-blade wheel and 64-inch Kort nozzle.
Stewart & Stevenson also sup- plied the light plant, a 30-kw ma- rine generator set powered by a
GM Detroit Diesel 3-71 engine.
The Rhonda Kathleen was cus- tom-built by Leon Smith and Ver- non Bates Jr., both of Palacios,
Texas.
