REDS; I'm not sure what websight you are looking at. As of last week, Capt. John had no websight for "Patent Pending". He has a websight for his resturant/deli as "South County Cafe" and was hoping to put a link to the boat.
I'll poke around the internet and see if I can find a websight for him. We run out of Deale (Harrington Harbor North). He has a 6 pack; but also does dinner cruises in the evenings during the summer. This is my first year with him, so I don't know how many he carries on a dinner cruise.

Just did a web search and he does indeed have a websight for the boat. Capt.John must have been busy this week and got a websight going.

Reds, I have to show my ignorance and tell you I don't know what you mean by ""no T boat necessaries". I believe that if you are liscened for more than a 6 pack, the boat has to have additional safty equipment. You need either a rail or 36 inches off the floor to the gunnels and I believe a raft along with life jackets.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

The boat has no rail in the picture and if memory serves me, Markleys are not 36" in the stern. Is the picture just not updated and the boat is?

Also T boats have to be documented. Is the captain's first name Bill?

Reds; The Captains name is John and I believe I saw a "Contact Us" section on his website. Feel free to call or email him with any or all your concerns. I have only been "mating" on it since April and I am not familiar with all the Captain's lisense's or requirements. I'm sure he would take time to answer your questions. I'm sorry I can't be of further help.

By ducking the main question about the boat, you really have given me an answer.

Reds; I'm not "ducking" any of your questions. Would you want your "mate" responsible for a definitive answer to some of the things you are asking?

I truely do not know the answers and I am not the one who should be answering.

What more can I do to satisfy you other than to direct you to the one person responsible for answering your questions.

If all you want to do is stir up trouble, go looking for someone else. The one thing I'm certain of is that the beam is more than 8'6" and we don't trailer it on the road.

Why do you care so much? Are you pissed Patent Pending is getting good pub?If you want business for your charter boat get a mate who will drum it up or you like this guy, or just leave it alone. I can post your info if you want me too, I have it. But I'd want a cut of the business.

Reds - I was invited on the boat and had some time to talk to the owner.

Bear with me - going from memory.

I remember John saying the boat could only carry 6. When he first bought it - it was designed to carry more. After a Coast Guard inspection - there needed to be a few things changed to carry more and there was not time to get everything done.

It was small things like a wider cabin door - railing - etc.

Trust me - that boat is a solid tank.
