Never...... No thanks. No oxygen, no ride. That time that it takes for the cabin to fill before you can push the hatch open is longer than I can hold my breath..............

I guess that gives you the option then. I still couldn't see myself ever using it. Not in Fl anyway.

Endangered Species is owned by a friend of ours from New York. It's a 2001 42 Tiger with 750 Zul's. If you search my Floating Reporter threads I did one on this boat. It was back in December of '05. The boat is awesome.

CG issued warning and FMP issued a $63 loud muffler (small block roar!) ticket. The ride outside was cool but the ICW ride home was lame with jetski's/ flats boats passing me at 30 MPH!). Next year hopefully FPC won't notify them of our appearance in advance! Cool run over all but definitely better last year!

Might be nice for the crazy freak thunderstorms we get down here at moment's notice.

Stil though, the whole allure of boating for me is being out in the open.
