You have a good point, now I feel better about the trip! :D As far as the Top Gun 80 goes, it's a nice boat very clean being that it's only 3yrs old. What's cool about it is that all the bunks are in state rooms, which have 3 bunks to a room. The staterooms also have a sink in them too. Kinda cramp in the staterooms though. The boat doesn't have much to sit on outside or anything. Galley is clean which can accomodate 18 people at a time. All drinks & meals are inclusive on the trip except the beer of course. :-( As far as the crew goes they're very good people. The Capt is Bob Taft, his brother is Chuck Taft who owns the Sea Adventurer. Bob tried his best to put us on fish, I'll say that much. After each jig stop if no one got bit in 15-20 mins, he'd be on the move again. He found a couple of kelp paddy's that were productive, 10-25lb yellowtail. All in all a good experience, i'd go on it again!
