How many shrimpers do you think are licenced Captains?


Is this a test? Couldn't you help us out by making it multiple choice?


A.) 1-10
B.) 1-100
C.) 1-1000



Uhh, I thing those coonass back bayou shrimppers could pass a driver
license test. HOw on earth cold they get a master license??!??!?!
My guess is choice:

D.) 0-1


BTW how often are you willing to dish out 6000+ dollars to fill that
pig up?


OUCH ! ! ! Got that right. Lets see. a Cat 3412 gets about 21GPH. If I
rember right the 3406 gets about 15GPH
SOme of thoes boats can bunker 10,000-14,000 gallons fuel.
Damn.....10,000 gallons x $2.50/gal = Twenty five thousand dollars
($25,000) Uhh, filler up sir!?!?!?


Get a proper motor sailor, the best of all worlds.


Yea, but ya cant just stick those in the mud, hop off, and ahve a day
on the beach. Besides can you emagin all the other $400K white
fiberglass yachts running for cover when some ole "commercial fishing
vessel" starts bouncing off the dolphins to manouver in for a place to
tie up?
