46 skater for fishing??
 
1 Attachment(s)
Can a 46 Skater be used for fishing??? Aparently so!! Jim Lee's Freedom US1 shows again she can do it all.
Hauls 6 people and luggage, has a cuddy with a lounge and head, runs 150 in the flats and as fast as nessesary in the rough stuff. Last week while ripping accross the Alantic at a high rate of speed, I spied a dark object headed right for me. Using my best "cat like" reflexes I was able to swat in down before it hit me. Lo and behold the flying cat had captured a flying fish proving once again that a Skater is always up to the task at hand.

never saw these flying fish before! How high or how long can they fly?

We just came back from a carribean cruise and would watch from our balcony the flying fish "flying" out of the water away from the bow of our ship. Their wings make the sound of a rubber band propeller airplane as they fly.
It's unbelievable how far they would continue flying 20- 30 ft or more.

Man I tell you, That was a fantastic trip!!!!! We had a blast and the Skater and crew loved to bash through the big water. Thanks Eric for building the motors that get Freedom US1 to all the fun spots!!!:ernaehrung004:

That leg is our guide Richard from the Bahamas. First ride on a Skater!!!! After the first mile or two of thinking WTF are we doing he loved it. He insisted riding with us back to America!!
