Great Boat pics
 

My father hired this guy in his chopper to take pics of his boat.
He ran about 60ft way w/ 15meg camera.
This pic is obviously way downsized to fit here, but he does great work. Price was around $850 for the shoot and would be less if there was another boat to share in the cost.
He is located in palm beach, FL.

Knowles... 40.
We love the boat, but its gettin abit much for the old man to go out alone in. :(

Its all handmade... no molds used.
The whole thing is glassed together, no seams at all.
Makes for a very solid ride.

Re: Great Boat pics

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Really, i didn't that 800+ was so bad for having a chopper chase you and take pics.

How much are other guys charging?

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Got more pics resized... just thought i'd share.

I did a photo shoot for the June cover of Boating magazine a few weeks back with a helicopter taking pictures of me and this hot model (:)). It was a solid 6-8' at Port Everglades and the helicopter had a hell of a time taking pictures because we were flying all over the place.

I just saw the proofs of the shoot and I can't figure out how the heck the photographer got such good shots. If you ever have the opportunity to get your boat photo'd from a helo DO IT. It's a completely diffrenent perspective from the usual shots.

Re: Great Boat pics
 

This is what 6'-8' looked like at the Key West Poker run a couple years ago.

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Those pics are really cool.
So's the boat.

Sweet.

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Thanks...

Re: Great Boat pics
 

I agree... my dad is thrilled w/ all these pictures and he's turning a few into 30x20" posters.

But he's sad cuz he doesn't have similar pics of the other 1/2dozen+ boats he's owned.

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Yep. Nothing like the chopper shots.

Re: Great Boat pics
 

So whats the going rate?

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Stormrider,

Those are great shots...magazine quality....well worth the money($$$) in my opinion. Does the photographer travel???

I'd rather pay $800+ to take action shots of me out on the water than several thousands of dollars for useless wedding pics. :evilb:

Are the pics of your dads boat 35mm or digital???

Re: Great Boat pics
 

CR, the guy is based in the WP-Jupiter area i think.
He uses a 15megapixel Dig. I had to do some serious resizing to get them on here. Here is his site. http://www.wrightsaerials.com/

Great pics & sharp boat! What kind of power in the Knowles 40?

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Nice stuff Rob :cool: Dad's got a great setup there. I'm heading back down to Jupiter on Monday for a week, does Dad run out of the Jupiter inlet most days??? I will look out for him, that shouldn't be a tough boat to spot :) I was down there last week for 5 days and had an absolute blast fishing :eek: :eek: ... and drinking :D You going down anytime??

Casino Runner I'm going to tell your wife! :eek: :evilb: :drink: ((Hey bud my rig is down in the AC area getting motors done :drink: :evilb: ))

Re: Great Boat pics
 

NJgr8ful,

I'm going down to Florida next week also....you can tell the wife in person. I'll probably drag her to a half dozen Marinas in the area, need to do some research. I'm tired of winterizing........

Re: Great Boat pics
 

Jig, the boat has cummings 430s. Dad pulls it way back to cruise at 28kts.
She opens up at 33-34kts. At 28kts she burns 31gph.

NJ, the boat is kept at the boat house across from the Sandsprit ramp.
The boat is at the show now, then will be returning to Stuart. My dad's only in Florida thru this month, then he comes home... so the boat will be sitting at the boathouse till May, unless someone buys it.

Anyone walking the show is more than welcome to hop aboard and talk to my dad... he loves to talk. :D

And I have no current plans to go down to go fishing. :(
