While I will defer to David Remsen to provide a more complete account of how #001 is currently being used as a work boat at the Marine Biological Laboratory, I can tell you that now 82-year-old retired FP/BW employee Henry Smith completed bottom repair work on the hull and the boat was put back in service more than two years ago. I saw a youtube video after the work was done of the hull breaking ice in the eel pond, and that made Henry upset when I played the video for him. A search of Woods Hole on Google Earth revealed a Outrage 21 shaped boat sitting on the right side of the dock in front of the MBL boat house. That may very well be #001. The MBL also has #001009, a smoothside 21.
