The answer 100% depends on the specific
boat. No way to answer your question without more information. Over the years of sponge
fishing in Tarpon Springs a lot of very different
boats were used from sail to
power.
So are you referring to this
boat on eBay?
1903 SAROUKOS Builders;1st & or 2nd Generation CUSTOM BUILT TARPON SPRINGS SPONGE BOAT
If so, it appears to already be a gaff rigged sloop.
