The Lee family (Bubba and two sons: Jake and Josh) have an extensive history of lobster trapping. Operating out of Friendship, Maine, Josh Lee built and launched his own boat, the 46ft Kelsie Marie, which uses the 16 liter, Cursor 16 815 Mhp model. Josh’s boat is built to work hard and hold weight. He wanted it extra heavy and extra rugged, with an engine that would give a good cruising speed when carrying the weight of 150 traps plus ropes.
“In all my years I’ve never heard an engine so quiet and smooth. And, with the latest technology, it uses way less fuel. We put in the same hours and Josh burns 30-40 gallons less than me, despite going twice as fast.” -Bubba Lee
