W
ayne Goddard of Valley Lee, Md., and his son-in-law Brian Hite of Ridge, Md., are rebuilding portions of the 65-foot oyster buyboat Poppa Francis at their railway on St. George River in Piney Point, Md.
The Poppa Francis was built in 1989 by Wayne’s father, Francis Goddard, who has semi-retired from boatbuilding. Few boatbuilders ever really retire. There always seems to be one more boat in them.
The Goddards are installing new wooden decks, two new 225-hp John Deere diesel engines, and a new pilothouse. The original steel decks have been pulled off and are being replaced with pine decking. The new pilothouse is going to be 10 inches higher than the old one to provide better visibility when shells and seed are mounded up on deck. The pilothouse shell walls, roof and doors are going to be prefabricated by Larry Jennings of
