History
Ocean Gift was built in 1956 in Scotland by Jones & Bukie with wooden hull. The boat has a Gardner 613b diesel engine. Since the launch the trawler was owned and fished for the same family until 1996. The boat was still fitted with the original engine and gearbox. That year the boat was converted in Houseboat, however still retains lot of original fittings.
