[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 4236457, member: 47828"] A friend of mine pilots a offshore drilling support boat. Last I heard his Captain's license was 200 ton. He makes serious $ for that work. He took me fishing in his dad's fishing boat on the White River arm of Beaver Lake Arkansas. Busy morning at the ramp and river current fairly strong. I will say it, being a 200 ton roustabout ship pilot absolutely does not qualify you to run a 18ft fishing boat on a river. I sat in the front seat defending myself from snags and branches more than I fished that day. Fortunately we got the boat loaded easy because the ramp was wide enough, when backing the trailer I got the rear of the trailer in an angle where he could motor on the trailer easily heading into the current.
