Wake up , Jim your smarter than this, everyone one of those boat owners and 
Capt. hate divers. There so picky when your on the boat for just a fishing 
trip they don't even let the customer set the hook on a fish, the mate 
hands the rod to the fisherman who is in the chair. That's why I consider 
all IGFA records false when caught on a charter boat, but they always have 
a bullshit story how the guy ask to set the hook before the trip so the 
boat can get credit for catching the record, which means more charters in 
the long run. Have you ever even been on one of those chartered fishing 
trips, they're real touchy about the dam boat. If they were to take you ONE 
time it would be the last time, divers have too much shit to bring with 
them and they get wet to, they will not want your sticky ass in the cabin 
after a dive, only the slow rundown fishing boats that do not get the 
fishing trips will run dive trips, then your back to square one. I'll go 
down to those boats with you Jim and see what they say, also divide the 
cost of 1000 here for the boat between 6 max divers, take in their day 
starts at 6am and want to be back at the dock at around 5pm . I like hassle 
free diving myself, I like to have the boat rigged for it and experienced 
for it.
