Hello Bria thank you for your review and experiences: In response, the engine is still awaiting a single part to stop the smoke: as to speed I only run at 11kts regardless of all things except the weather which that day reduced the forward speed to 7.9kts as to safety briefing I did hand over the safety briefing card to the mate to present to the passengers as I was programming the computer for a shorter run. As to the mates appearance and behavior he is on notice to improve or change employment.  However, as the ad hominem attack takes away from the original logic attack of the the argument of “bad boat” it dilutes the the entire premise of your dissatisfaction as that would have no bearing on the “bad boat”  theory.  In retrospect it would have been wise to hold your tips and speak with me about your displeasure at the time of the incident.  Be safe in your pursuits.  Capt. Dan

Sorry Ms. Kathi you and your crew were disappointed, however, I only advertise trolling and offshore bottom fishing sorry but I do not fish light tackle therefore I do not carry tackle to fish light, 
  If you would have mentioned that day that you wanted to experience a broad spectrum of fishing I would have gladly re- funded your money and a bonus for your time or directed you to other vessels more equipped to accommodate your wishes..
