Way back when when I had a cat I was excited to see that they were taking pics of me, I put the hammer down and trimmed up to throw a nice rooster tail, I order the pics and they finally arrive and I am like WTF the stupid cameraman didn't get the roostertail in any of the shots, I don't need to see closeups of the cockpit I know what my friends look like. I sent them back.

Anyway, if you want helicopter pics you take what you can get. Look at what they've got and if you like them, buy them. If not, don't. They will touch them up as you request and you can also buy the digital files and do what you want with them.
The digital files cost like $750 each I think. Just do a search and you will see much more negative reviews than positive.

I had to request that they not crop my photos too much.

They are expensive but how much would these other guys charge to come up and do a private photo shoot of one boat? Look on-line at what they got. No one is forcing anyone to buy them. I had a few issues and ended up with 3 nice 16" x 20" prints for $750 total. I photographed the prints and made some smaller copies. They botched my first batch bad but I worked with the owner and ended up a happy customer. Now if JayBoat wants to come up and shoot pics of my boat flying in clean, blue water for $750 I'm all over that.

For $750 you can go do a nice poker run that will include chopper taking pics and video....

I don't do poker runs. My boat is too small.

I think it was stated before... Get 3-5 boats, rent a helo, and find a local photographer to take some pics. You can get some group pics and individual pics. It would be cheaper in the long run.

A couple seasons back I was out and the boatpix chopper got some pics of me. I called to get them to send me photos that I could see and they couldn't find the pics they took. That was the only time I saw them out. Hopefully I can catch them again this year. I would like to have an overhead shot of me running up the bay.

Getting way off subject but I disagree with your boat being too small. Have plenty of friends that do/have done the Tickfaw 200 in 21 - 25' boats. Hell, theres a guy that used to do the Emeral Coast Poker Run every year in a Donzi Sweet 16. You have a sweet boat, I wouldn't hesitate to do a few runs in it.
