Even the yacht harbor water taxi's I've seen, won't hire anyone with less than

Lots of fishing outfits in the gulf hire 25gters to run party boats.
Why a water taxi would need a 100 ton captian is beyond me. Must be a
supply and demand thing.

G Either you've got a bunch of real small "party boats" down there, or
some N.A.'s who really know how to play the GT game.



Yeah they buy up aluminum surplus oilfield bay boats put rails on them
and wala. They still work the rigs. Plus alot of 6 pack type boats
that troll the gulf for big game.

Joe

6-pac and 25 ton, as we know are two different things, most of what you are
describing, seem to fall under the 6-pac, or are you saying people, people hire
the 25 ton license holders to run boats which only need a 6-pac? As otn said, a
25 ton boat is fairly small.

Thats what I said. Some small boat carry 15 passengers(a 6 pac will
not cover it). And like I say most old converted oilfield boat that
carried crew to the drilling rigs in the bays along the Texas coast.
