“Our mate gaffs one last mahi before we pull in the lines and point the bow for home, which is more than 30 miles over the horizon — yet we’ll hit the dock in well under an hour. With four Mercury Verado 300s on the transom, the SeaVee 390Z we’ve been fishing from can boil the water at an outrageous 70-plus miles per hour”

Unbelievable!!

I'd have to use the commercial port of entry to get one of those monsters back home in Yuma!

The .gov pricks already refused to let me do it with my little Sea Pro beater.

Gotta drag the hull rub rails and trailer fenders thru their twelve inch diameter steel posts that are exactly eight feet apart as per .gov regulations.

My F-350 dually can barely make it thru with a half inch of clearance on the rear fenders. The mirrors have to be pulled in then they bitch at you because they can't see your face.

To be expected from our "protect and serve" employees.

The new ports in Douglas will be amazingly efficent. The reworked ones….we will see.I still don't know why Lukeville got skunked on the upgrades.
