I run a hose to the bow and stern from my crash pumps. They are long so I can move them to clear water from all spaces if I need to.

The fine will be 10,000.$ for the fish and 10,000.$ to the boat. They will tell him he has 30 days to pay and they will unchain his boat from the dock. If he pays right away he might only have to come up with 15,000.$

Bob, it will be the 3rd one that I have built. Should be able to do it in 1 to 2 years. This one is one of the hardest to do. Funny thing is it will have POD drives and bow thruster. Spinning radars and smoke along with water shotting out of the sides.

The pods are not that great. They break all the time. I see them being fixxed in the yard. One owner told me he was lucky to have 3 pods because that way he always had 2. He has had his boat pulled out 25 times in two years. What ever fuel savings he has spent fixxing the dam things.
