The law as it is written uses the term "In possession of". Dead or alive, if it's on your boat, you are in possession of it. In this particular case, he made the mistake of calling the NMFS. That may also save his ass in a court of law as he was not intentionally trying to catch the fish in his net ...

If that was your legal way of fishing and you hauled in a great white of any size that was now dead, you have two choices. Say nothing and dump it overboard, or bring it in and get arrested for being "in possession of" an endangered species. If it's still alive, pissed and tearing up your nets, seve...

In order to have good design, you have to be able to recognize bad design, and not allow it! That was my philosophy when I was working, and that was Steve Jobs' philosophy behind the success of Apple. If there's a choice between products that do the same thing, and one is ugly and one is well design...

Moriches inlet claims 2 boats in 2 days.
I like my Striped Bass, but.... Seems like two guys braved that treacherous inlet in small boats alone and lost heir boats but thankfully, not their lives. I used to do nutty stuff like that in my Boston Whaler when I was in my 20's, but these guys were 40 and 75. They will recover and then their wi...

Peter- If I am not mistaken, you have a swim platform. If you do, I would suggest you put it there because of your teak deck. Whatever you do, your deck under the livewell will age a different color in one season. Between UV rays and water that doesn't dry as completely as the rest of the deck. If y...

The first 38's were built on a scaled up 31 hull. They were real Battlewagons. I suspect whatever happened between Bertram/Hunt/Napier revolved around the extension of that original hull design. With today's Diesel engines, that 38 would have been faster and more economical to run. It sure ran like ...

Marshall- there is a short hose that I have had pop off, but doesn't look like it has when I lift the hatch to inspect why the sudden black smoke. The hose is very short, about 3 1/2 hose clamps long. Once pushed back into place and re clamped, the condition goes away. The loss of power was subtle. ...

Bull Sharks go anywhere, even into fresh water. They were the actual killers that Whites got blamed for on the Jersey shore many years ago. Took kids in 4' of water up a river.

I was going to suggest a delicately placed drop of acetone placed at the base of the drilled hole with the fine crack coming from it. The capillary action would run it into the length of the crack and "weld" the two together. Given the importance of what you are doing, I hesitate to suggest it. You ...
