<b>Thanks Capt. Ben,</b><br>for another great report<br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.outdoorchannel.com/events/images/bobber.gif"> You are well with in your rights on that GPS issue and using other boats should not be done unless you are ready to retire because you are about to give away your means of making a living.<br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.outdoorchannel.com/events/images/bobber.gif"> As a mater of fact I cant thing of any one here in Michigan that will allow GPS devices on their boats nor will they take some one else out in there own boats. <b>(That is just bad business unless you are in the business of giving away your information to new charter services)</b> If you continue to take people out in their own boats you may as well be charging 10 times the rates as on your boat. Because either way you will soon be out of business <br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.outdoorchannel.com/events/images/bobber.gif"> As to Mr. Hal who needs to use his own boat because it is rigged for his wheel chair. You may want to give that a strong reservation as well. Because you should be making your own accommodations for anglers who are wheel chair ridden. <b>( I say this not to condemn taking persons out in their own boats but more that there are literally thousands of anglers who would enjoy a fishing trip on a boat if it were accessible to wheel chairs ) </b> You may not be able to build a ramp to get on your boat but a hoist work just as well. <br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.outdoorchannel.com/events/images/bobber.gif">Then you can add this information to your web site, advertising wheel chair accessibility. <br><br><IMG SRC="http://www.outdoorchannel.com/events/images/bobber.gif"> Just because some one is in a wheel chair doesn’t mean they don’t want to get out and enjoy what life has to offer.<br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>For Kids Sake <br>Recycle your old Equipment<br>Dave
