Over my ~40 years FD/CFR/ARFF experience, I have encountered more than a
few
that considered me "Not Cognizant" of my proper place, when dealing with
such esteemed personages as themselves. These personages generally have
fallen into 3 groups; Lawyers, Politicians, & Lawyers turned politicians.
It
has been my experience/learned most who populate these groups, or have
similar attitudes could best be described as "Fair Weather Sailors".

Is it not wise to keep your "scuppers clean/clear of obstruction" &
"minimize the amount of material in/keep your bilge clean"? At 6'8', 280
pounds I doubt I would fit in your "scuppers". Considering my size, I
would
more than likely create "Trim Problems" if carried in your "Bilge".

By the way in my younger US Navy days, I did fight several fires resulting
from not cleaning/clearing "Bilges", to say nothing of retrieving several
"Fair Weather Sailors" & their boats.
