Irish Ayes was selected as the Command Boat for filming of the Weather Channel TV series Catching Hell which was 12 - 1 hour shows about commercial spear fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. During the shows filming, Irish Ayes spent continuous cycles of 4 - 5 days off shore in the middle grounds followed by 2 - 3 days on shore, and then out again from September through mid-November and was home to the shows producer, director and camera crews. She never missed a beat in some pretty dicey weather and long duty cycles. The shows producers are currently considering a second season and have expressed an interest in rehiring boat and crew.
Other than filming the TV show, the boat has been lightly used for the past 7 years or so. Irish Ayes is a great boat, solid, seaworthy, fantastic hull, the right engines and so on.
