Powell River, B.C., Canada
Is a 38 ft. diesel powered, 8 knot heavily laid up fiberglass displacement hull vessel built in 1980 to an Edwin Monk design as a west coast troller. Converted to a personal west coast exploration vehicle and day tour dive charter vessel in 2008-2009. GRADIENT operates on the North Sunshine Coast from her home port of Powell River. She moves between being based out of Powell River, Lund, Saltery Bay, Okeover Inlet and sometimes Pender Harbour. Gradient is a good stable dive platform with an easy to use custom dive ladder, large swim grid for cameras and gear, boom and lifting gear for 500 lb. and under ROV's and tech gear, that carries up to eight divers comfortably.

           Here are a few photos of the recent haul out. I have been waiting for more photos to show up so i could have one of everyone that helped but figured i would just post now as time flys.
 Huge thanks to Mac, Wayne, Gary, Ben and  Andy  for the muscle and time spent.  
              Also to Jacks Boatyard and Cindy for  being a great place to work on boats and  for moving Gradient in and out of the water on the lift so skillfully.Many hands and teamwork made this one of the best and certainly the shortest  shipyard experience of my life.

Thanks again to you all.
 Bill
