Holy Crap!!!!!

But, if they had a nice big open transom, they could have dragged the behemoth in the back.

I would not drag that puppy onto anything less than 40 feet long. You know, where I could climb high and go far i=when it wakes up from supposedly being dead.

If the seas weren't dead calm like that there was no way they were gettin that fish in the boat.

So, where would they go from where they are in the pix? In other words, how are they going to haul that thing into the boat?

I blew the pictures up on my computer. It looks to have a huge vent on the side of the boat about where the name is on most boats. In one picture it is under water. Without a bracket you would be hard pressed to haul it over the stern around the motors but you would definitely have some water on deck. I agree, if it wasn't so calm, they probably wouldn't even have tried. As it was, all fishermen would have to go to port side to balance the boat. Hell of a T-top though... Not a folding model for sure.
