Persistence
The fourth Persistence, an 82-footer built to run bluefin tuna out of Massachusetts: two oversized in-deck fish boxes on Frigibar ice makers, transom fishbox, twin Wicked Wells, hidden harpoon storage. Launched without a gyro but with a gyro-sized fuel tank in its place. The registry lists her as 2022 under construction; the custom-builds page says launched 2023.
