"Big Black" circa 1980 Lake Superior with twin Mercury 50 hp two stroke. From what I remember this was an 18' Zodiac. Note shopping cart bolted to floor. Worked pretty slick for the controls although operator had to stand the entire time which was fine since this was a charter dive boat and the operator needed to watch the bubbles.

I was photographing from the RIB following him. Here's a pic of one of my buddies with a ten footer rolling in behind "Big Black." I really loved that boat. I guess they had it out in some 20 footers one day but I wasn't there.
