35,000 gallon fuel capacity... Bet that would be fun to fill by toting 6 gallon plastic jugs down the dock!

Eh...just give me the 46 flybridge and that will open up the aft deck space to land your heli. There you go...problem solved!

Overheard at the fuel dock:

Owner: "Fill it up, please."
Pump jockey: "Yes, sir!"

...several hours later...

Pump jockey: "All done, sir. That will be $157,500. Cash or credit? Sir? Sir?? SIR??? Hey, somebody call 911! I think he's dead!!"
:eek:

Oh......how wonderful it is to have a mothership to carry your sportfish, crew of hearty men, provisions, spare parts, water toys, etc....... to places where she can't make it on her own. I am curious as to where that boat was built. I know Gamefisherman and the owner, Mike. Haven't spoke to him in several years. What got into him to build this vessel? I'm gonna find out!

Wow. This is the 'mothership' in real life.:eek:

She is! But if you want to carry a sportfishing crew and a place they can hang out, thousands of pounds of spare parts, machine shop, fishy laundry, spilled beverages, dirty feet, loud music.....I really like this one.

I've always admired those captains that I've met along the way that can travel great distances...in a sportfish...with a mother ship.

I'm going to check her out due to curiosity. She is right down the road.

Not my gig, YD.......I'll send 'em your way.;)

Re: My next boat

Small boat guy curiosity makes me ask:

The first one looks like it uses a system like a lock and dam to load/unload right?

The actual one pictured how is loading/unloading done?
