Assorted Boat Work

And importantly assorted boat work.

In 2000 I purchased a 1921 43’ Trumpy design wooden pilot house motor yacht. I worked on all aspects

of the vessels from sanding, caulking, painting, from minor to major repairs, assisted with refurbishing

and even engine work. The vessel was never short of projects. I initiated and assisted with the installation

of several rule bilge pumps, a dual battery system, improved electrical systems and much more. I handled

almost all of the upkeep and maintenance of the vessel. I also learned of her history and discovered that

renowned Greek boat builder had purchased the Trumpy design to obtain his boat license as required to

build a wood vessel. I met 90 year old men who lived and played on her as children and met several of

previous owners of the vessel. I also worked and enjoyed excursions on the

and additionally hire and trained new employees.

"The Paul Butterfield Fund and Society Educational Archival Exhibit is one of our signature projects,"

Gabriel states. The exhibit represents segments of Paul Butterfield’s life and career, which currently

includes memorabilia -- posters, handbills, tickets, art work, photographs, music, videos and personal

artifacts of Paul's; representing the arts and artists of that era.

The PBFS Educational Archival Exhibit was unveiled as part of a three day multi-media extravaganza on

Dec 17th, 2004 at the Key West Hard Rock Cafe on Paul's birthday -- a day when radio stations

nationwide joined in memory of Paul and support of PBFS, by playing Paul Butterfield’s music

throughout the day.

This collection continues to grow & they hope to have it on the road at various special events in the very

near future. A segment of the exhibit is permanently displayed at Butterfield’s Roadhouse.

The venue is also offered for private parties and celebrations, weddings, meetings, etc…
