Welcome to the Prairie Boat Works Site

Moored Prairie 36, 1980, Hull No 21

The company has been out of business for decades, but the boats live on!

It seemed like a good idea to gather some information about the company, and more importantly, the boats we own, in one place.

It is hoped that this can be a resource for Prairie (and Atlantic) boat owners and maybe a way to connect with other owners.

  2. Hello…my wife and I have been bringing back to life hull #5 … 29′ Prairie.
    It has been lots of fun…took it to Florence Alabama for the winter…and really enjoyed it.
    Just bought (not installed yet) a NextGen 3.5 diesel genset. Got it from the manufacturer in
    Jacksonville Fl. It was repowered in 2007 with a 52 Yanmar and we loved getting an average of 6.5 mpg! Has a new Lewmar bowthruster…new bridge bimini and cockpit bimini.
    Boat is laid out very comfortably.
    The vessel we own was previously known on Youtube as the Mischief … tons of great videos by the previous owners. She sat in a boatyard in Maryland for several years neglected. We saw her…bought her…and looking forward to lots of cruising. We also have a 1972 36 Gulfstar with a 120hp Lehman which will soon be on the market. Yes we love older trawlers…tons of character in them.
    Great to see some other Prairie lovers!
    George and Donna
