Dixon's Marine's Newest Launch - Treigh's Pride

The Treigh's Pride may appear conventional at first glance, but it bears a number of features that set it apart from other custom fishing boats. Unlike many boats, this sleek, 44-foot vessel is fully updated with the latest in wheelhouse technology, incorporating an open layout that devotes ample consideration to the comfort of its pilot and crew.

At the stern, an adjustable rig serves as the ideal mounting point for trap reels, trawling nets and everything else you'll need to harvest the sea's bounty. Above the wheelhouse, an array of antennae and other sensors ensure that you can navigate with ease in almost any conditions. Designed for private use as well as large-scale industrial ventures, the Treigh's Pride unifies the best in boat design from a range of time-honored traditions.


In addition to navigation equipment, we've equipped the Treigh's Pride with a full complement of related electronics and control systems. This is truly a boat whose pilot is always in the know about what's going on, and because we've paid so much attention to the small details, its crew never have to go out of their way to stay informed. With a 479 hp C-18 engine, a 26-foot beam and a host of support hardware that make piloting a pleasure, the Treigh's Pride is ideal for tough jobs and the fishermen that take them on.
