A rough model from years back of the fishing zulu Reaper, part of the Scottish Fisheries Museum.
I drew this sort-of from a 3D scan of the real vessel that I found on Sketchfab:

I wasn't able to access the actual file to get the hull shape perfect, but using side, top, and end views from the scan I was able to get it reasonably close.
From my experience of the Puffer, I wanted to see if it was easier to take a smooth hull and manually add strakes - this turned out to be the case.
The scan is also great to reference for building the deck furniture - it was just hurriedly scratchbuilt on my model. If I'd taken the time to get proper dimensions it'd be better, but it was done on a time budget.
For the ship's wheel at the stern I reused the steering wheel from my Clyde Puffer Model.
I believe the motor I used was an N20 with a 1.7g ultra micro servo for steering.
I would very much suggest printing this at an enlarged scale. R/C at 1/87 isn't for the faint of heart. Scaling it up by a factor of 2 would get it close to O-gauge at which the are several fisherman figures available.
