Development of 4.78M LOA fishing boat (punt) for artisanal fishery
A 4.78 M length overall (LOA) flat bottom modern fishing boat (punt), was designed and constructed using locally available materials. The boat features include easy construction, stability, and high capacity to carry load. Other features include: least cost, light weight, shallow draft, and easy maneuverability. The light displacement (weight empty) was 202.24kg, which was lighter than a local boats of same size. When placed on water a draft of 5cm. The capacity of the boat was 715kg (11 prs), and the total production cost of N39,000.00, which was not beyond the reach of an average fisher folks, or fish farmer. The punt can easily be maneuvered when propelled with 5hp out board engine as it floats at a shallow draft (10cm); this makes it adequate for fishing activities on shallow water bodies. The craft, because of its easy maneuverability, can also be used on shallow water bodies for recreational activities such as, sport fishing.
