2004 Rosborough RF246 Trailerable Trawler
We purchased her in 2021, added a trailer, replaced the original Yamaha T60 motors and updated her electronics. She saw some salt water during a Great Loop voyage with the previous owner but has been a fresh water gal ever since.
We have done extended cruises with her on the Canadian Rideau and Trent-Seven waterways in addition to a few day cruises on our home river in Wisconsin.
