Hey Gillie- We quickly released the sail...my
father asked the same question about keeping it and smoking it up...nowadays you need a special permit!!!In the event you wish to keep a sailfish, you must possess a Highly Migratory Species (HMS) vessel permit and report your landings at (800) 894-5528. (from FL Sailfishing Basics)...plus I would probably get a flogging back at the docks!!!!!!!
I think a wide angle lens is in store..cheaper than a bigger boat!!!The closed transom did work great and the confidence factor was high...especially when maneuvering (spelling)the boat. PM me pics of your arch!!!!
Matt--the days when it all goes well is the days when I am glad I have the boat....gets depressing when the boat just sits in the driveway though..and it sits quite a bit!!!!!
