    i'm bound by the sport-fish rules(unless i take the wife with me-she's haida and fisheries won't touch you if there's a native in the boat)which has raised a big problem on the hali front this year. chinook i'm allowed 30 per season,but hali has gone from one a day with no size limit to...

    yup. went out and did a bit of fishin with a buddy yesterday afternoon...we didn't catch anything but it was good to get out on the water for a couple of hours.i tried the 23p props on it,but ended up losing speed-the engines wouldn't come up to full revs. i'm going to try it again alone and...

    oh,just things like 'that looks like a good way to kill yourself' to which i replied 'i can think of better ways'. and those who just don't understand why i would want to go that fast. i tell them i have my reasons.....

    it pulls a bit,but it's manageable.general running around i just use one engine and it doesn't pull at all then.still good for 45mph dragging a dead prop through the water,though. it gets a little more hazardous as the speed goes up,but like anything else it's a matter of making sure the...

    there have been several people who's boats were destroyed by hitting swells while trying to set speed records,like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrs32Jcdpoo i know from witness reports that at 60mph there's only a couple inches of hull in the water with my boat,at 100mph it may well...

    no,not till closer to spring.i'll only be running three engines for a short time-my ultimate goal is to break 100mph,but i have to work to that in stages as it gets very dangerous as the speed goes up that high. a small swell can rip the bottom of the boat out or a pocket of air can get under...

    well,anytime you can get to this end of the world(or 'edge of the world' as we call it here)you're always welcome. as for the kids,they don't seem to be too into it.the covered boat may make a difference,we'll find out next spring i guess.
