1) Nobody knows what any government agency is going to do 2 years hense. Just look at Obama's healthcare plan or NYS's saltwater fishing license...
The boats are 6 packs, but very few of the captains are. Those that are actually working with OUPV licenses are either moving up or out so I...
Most 6 packers are the owners. What they need to know is where the fish are and how to catch them. They usually know their boats and how to run...
Probably still kicking, but unfortunatley he passed, I believe some time last summer. BTW, for those not familiar, what he knew about the CFRs...
Let me rephrase it for you then newcomer. We take ultimate care of each other, but there are no Prima Donnas living here. I don't wait on her...
You're thinking logically and in a consumer friendly fashion. Unfortunately, as you've found, that's just not the way it's done. If there were...
Big NO! If you're out in Montauk some day look at a boat called Cricket. She looks like, shall we say, a very heavily fished boat. She does...
For those who didn't catch this, the length and breath of subjects covered in depth on this forum is impressive. Remember that "SEARCH" button...
You may have gone off on Marmots tangent. He tried to imply that OUPV vessels must be inspected. I pointed out that what he was pointing to was...

It's how companies lock in their customers. Company A and company B sell a similar product. You have company A's but when it wears out you find...
Not familiar with the boat. Sorry. Edit: Just looked it up. That aft roof looks like a good spot.
This is a Viking S.C.? What size? You should have enough room behind the steps on the upper deck.
Have you tried SIBS (718)984-7676?
Well, there's a surprise. Given the rep of California lawyers I wonder what took so long.
It's a bit late right now. I'll mail my 5th issue license back to the CG tomorrow if that's OK with you.
Semantics, got ya. Yes we are talking about "inspected" vessels which is why I originally used the term commercial status to avoid that confusion....
I think you missed the word "Voluntary". No inspection is required. Most recreational small boats would not pass (regular, not 6 pack) inspected...
Before the multi-millionaires took over the boating business guys actually earned a living on small boats. They still do in some parts of the...
Pascal, You have one down you way that's been for sale forever. I believe it was used in commercial service. Anything you can add about that?
