The last of the big guys - The Hull Truth

Before they start making their way back to wherever they came from. I am not a fisherman but these boats have been a treat to see. I'd also like to add that, for the most part, they have been very considerate regarding our restricted speed areas. I have also observed them slowing down in unrestricted areas where they know their wake might seriously rock a small boat or a raftup.

Good job guys.

I was hoping to get more pics using the rocks to frame the boats. Unfortunately I got involved in rental boat rescue duty when most of these guys went by.

Doug,

That is a great picture of Smooth Operator I am sure Ed would like to have a copy. We will be rigging for the next tournament today down at PW's, stop by for a drink.

anyone know any details about the outriggers in the 2nd to last pic? I had heard somebody was toying around with Carbon 'riggers, supposed to reduce drag and make maintenance a bit easier...........

..other tom..

That would have been the Smooth Operator I believe..snapped off these pics about 3-4weeks ago when she arrived. Her first year here she came with no riggers..
