Welcome to another CFN Shakedown Cruise.<\/i><\/p>\n

MATINICUS, ME \u2013 When the Spruce Head, ME-based lobster boat Xtreme Measures parted its mooring and went missing in a February snowstorm in 2013, probably the last thing anyone thought about was, \u201cThis is gonna make a great ad.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as it turns out, when the 42\u2019 Mussel Ridge was found adrift 150 miles offshore 11 days later \u2013 having survived gale force winds and seas to match \u2013 the thought that went through David Ames\u2019 head was, \u201cThat\u2019s got to be a good model hull.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Ames, who lives with his family out on the island of Matinicus (a good couple-dozen-mile run offshore out of Rockland), had a 35\u2019 Atkinson Novi at the time \u2013 a solid, dependable workboat that would hit \u201c8 knots when she was light,\u201d says David.\u00a0 \u201cShe was a good boat, but I definitely was thinking about having something bigger and faster someday.\u00a0 That whole Xtreme Measures story really impressed me and got me thinking about the Mussel Ridge 42 hull.\u201d…<\/p>\n
