Here is one reason to buy plate boats over tinnies

My customers brother wrote this story and had it published in a boating magazine in May 1997. To my shock when i was thumbing through the mag and saw a dramatic cartoon that just had to be about one of our boats.

But I think it makes for a good read. See what you think.

It is a good read and a hell of a mystery . . .

Theory

The most likey theory is that it was a White Pointer shark thinking the boat was a whale. White Pointer Sharks apparently will hit a whale in the belly at full throttle and and then while the whale is "stunned" as such the shark will take a bite out of it. I have no proof that this is correct, but this is what I have been told.
