Matteo Russo’s Patriot Engine
This is the view looking down at The Patriot Engine. Matteo runs a GM in The Patriot and GM engines are usually painted green. Matteo painted his red because this particular model of GM engine is called a Screamin’ Demon.

Matteo Russo’s Patriot Bow
Matteo Russo took me for a tour of his dragger The Patriot. Nice boat, and very clean, it is built like a tank.
You can tell a lot about a boat’s owner by how well it’s engine room is maintained. Matteo’s Patriot engine room is spotless, much like Clark Sandler’s Sea Farmer II, Cape Seafood’s Boats and The Western Venture.

Matteo Russo’s Patriot Deck
In this photo you see the deck of Matteo Russo’s Patriot. In the top of the picture is his stern trawler net reel. The reason it is called a stern trawler is because the net is set from this reel from the STERN of thge boat. You see in the picture the net wrapped around the net reel.
Then in the middle of the deck you see pen boards. Pens and pen boards can be above deck or below deck. The pen boards fit into channels which section off portions of the deck or the hold of the boat where the fishermen sort fish or dump the fish out from the net when the net comes aboard. Down below different pens are used for different species.

In the front of the picture is the winch. The winch is spooled with wire which is attached to the net . When they set the net out they let wire out evenly on both sides so the net will fish evenly. It is hydraulically powered. You see the stainless steel bar resting at an angle just behind the winch? That is used to guide the wire back onto the winch evenly when they load it back on. They guide the wire back and forth evenly so it all doesn’t bunch up in the middle of the winch drum.
