Jack-
Nice find!
If I remember correctly, according to the "History" posed on the old Toland C-Dory website, that's the one and only bow picker ever made by C-Dory!
(The bow picker is designed to set out and then pick up fishing nets from the bow, rather than the traditional operation from the stern.)
Joe. :teeth :thup

Joe,
Dave in bow picker land here: bow pickers predated stern reel boats by many decades ... and there are still a few around, although I wonder if there are any of the original "Columbia River bow picker" design still working.
Link to text and a shot of Kent Martin pulling web on one, off Skamokawa, WA, looks like: http://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/entry ... owpickers/
Anyone interested in the history of the old timers might enjoy this classic little video: Bergeron, Jim. “Work is our Joy: The Story of the Columbia River Gillnetter.” Documentary film, 1989, 32 minutes.

And unless it has completely fallen apart since two years ago when I last saw it, it's in great shape. Somebody is getting a great deal on a nice boat.
