Here is the sea trial of a brand new Bow Picker on a flat calm Bellinghan Bay destined ta catch lots of those Copper River Salmon, outa Cordova AK in April 2009.

The chase boat is a fairly light weight welded aluminum 18 footer with a Yamadinger 150 HP that runs out at 32 knots give or take.

The Bowpicker is powered by twin 496 cubic inch BBCs with Hamilton Jets so it can run in the shallow water of the Copper River delta.

Notice how it walks away from the chase boat when he cracks the throttles on those hungry BB Chevvys.

The engines the fishermen wanted to use were Yanmar Diesels, but the Communists in Central Corntrol requied the gas powered union built engines fer safety or some such upside down reason, like Nanny Gubmint tends ta require from time to time.

That's a pretty cool lookin ride I must say.

Yup she looked very VERY kool on the trailer, (very nice lookin' lines), n' the engine rooms are huge (and very shinney), as well, (you can get all around those hungry BBCs if ya need ta wrench 'em).

This was the first time that particular hull design was out on the water under 785 horse power of thrust so a lot of $ was ridin' on this trial. They are very VERY happy she runs out so well.

She will not be nearly as fast stuffed with 1000s of pounds of Salmon, but she really flys with only 50 gallons of fuel, n' 1000 lbs of people on board!!

Me bother's boat, (the exact same set up), should be ready to ship this week, (they throw 'em on a barge outa Seattle to take North). JR
