I rarely start non-politcal posts and if I do it's usually to solicite help from your fine people.
Here's a breath of fresh air.....Define what your BBS name means. How you got it...were it came from
Mine....I was allways fascinated with the charicter in the steven king novels "dark tower" series.
PS
I'd really like to know were "skuzzy" comes from :aok
-
better yet, let's guess where the nick comes from before it gets revealed...
Skuzzy = SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) ?
only computer geek would know that (and a pretty old dude at that)
-
Mine is from Dos AW and Warbirds....Gyro from an airplane Attitude Indicator. 69 was my Dos AW tail number. Shound have added, flew with the 4th fighter squadron in AW. MOL in WB.
-
I was a transplant from AW. In AW I was ->SUN and when I signed up for AH, I thought AH had "kill macros" like AW had.....so I chose Nuke as my handle, expecting to tie the name into some "clever" kill macros.
Anyway, Nuke is my original AH handle. I'm "Crumb" now in AH.
-
Skuzzy can correct me on this but I think he designed the first or one of the first Adaptec SCSI controllers. The 1510 maybe?
I was looking for something to go with my last name which is Sides back in '90 when I started playing AW. I went with Ironsides which I later shortened to Iron. My ID was 1253 I believe.

I dont know why it never occured to me that skuzzy would be associated with scsi. I am truely a dweeb

When I worked at ThrustMaster, one of my jobs was to do support in various online forums. One of them was Delphi where a big group of AW dweebs hung out. They were a foul, smelly group of nerds, and I was just an innocent kid full of hope and promise. They branded me with a handle, S.O.B (Son of Buzz - Buzz was my father and they knew him), then planted the seed of depravity that helped grow me into what I am today.
So, if you see one of the CAF dweebs online, or anyone named BeBop or Shebop, you can blame them. ;)
-
I forgot the story behind Creamo's handle, and the story about the stewardess, but it was a good one. Spill it Creamy, or I'll put Gordo's posting spree on our BB to shame!
-
Ok...
Many moon's ago, I found myself in need of a new cpid for Air Warrior. So, I grabbed a dictionary, closed my eye's, opened it and stuck my finger on the page. Turns out, my finger landed on "Tumor". At first I thought "oh hell, thats terrible", but then I reflected on the fact I'd had 2 real "Tumors" surgically removed, I figured it fit.

Gosh.. and I always thought Skuzzy was trying to present himself as some kinda dirty degenerate!

I remember Creamo's, SOB.
Had to do with a prank about group masterbation, a task, the yelling "Creamo!" upon completion of said task, the lights being turned on, and a dawning soul wrenching realization.

I have no idea what my name means.
I was Glans in AW for a long time but they finally figured out what that was and made me change my name.

Nilsen in english would be nilson or son of nils. very common last name here.
i think my first ah handle was Phenix, then vPhenix back in late 2000 or early in 2001 and i had the same handles on the bbs i think. lost all my passwords and stuff in a severe coffe spilling incident :D and then "became" nilsen. After i found the o'club i realised that using my actual name was a huge miss. to late now so ill stick with it.
-
My first handle was an abbreviation of my name and my birthyear, simply because I had no idea what I was getting into. After a couple of new names as I was getting into/leaving the game, I decided to settle on something more permanent. I worked with my dad, doing yacht repair for awhile, and learned the name for the aft hatch, the lazereth(sp). I made the mistake of calling it the lazerus one time and got the schpiel(sp again) on the differences between the two. Lazerus, although the incorrect spelling, is the name of one that rises from the dead, as I did continually in my early days of AH, and continue to do now. I thought it fit fairly well and have kept it through a few absences in the MA.
Freaked me out the time I shot down Lasuras:eek:

First used in EAW on the Kali servers, needed a nick quick and I'd never had one before. Just watched a film called 'Drop Zone' and one of the characters was called Swoop, so I stole it. I quite liked the character and the nick seemed to fit.
The story of the toothpaste ad sig is another matter.

My WB's id was -tron- (as in movie Tron)
before our regular sunday RNZAF squad missions, our sqd used to go to the prac. arena for a fun vulchfest usually with a particular type...once we used Yaks, and refered to each other with a russian slant on our id's ie. -tronski-
In AH tron was already taken so i used Tronsky

my sig story is about as stupid as they come.
I discovered AW on AOL in 95 or 96 and I was realy eager to try it out. I had used the name "Striker" in homage to the airport movie in a wing commander game -
I figured I could change it later if something better occured to me so I tried to enter it in AW and found you could only do 5 letters.
strkr was taken so I took off the last r - strk. My name has been all over kill boards ever since!
Soon I got hooked up in my elite squad of fear inducing bad tulips - 52nd (KIWI) F/B so I never wanted to change it. We have been flying together since 96.

-
I think it involved a large volume of beer, but I cant remember. I always meant to change my handle, but being lazy I didnt get around to it. The handle kinda grew on me so it stuck.
Plus I seem to be a popular guy as someone on channel 1 always seems to be talking about me... hmm.. go figure.

Curval (or more properly President de Curval) was chosen because only a few utterly debaucherous individuals would ever understand it.
"The President de Curval was a pillar of society; almost 60 years of age, and worn by debauchery to a singular degree, he offered the eye not much more than a skeleton. He was tall, he was dry, thin, and had two lusterless eyes, a livid and unwholesome mouth, a prominent chin, a long nose. Hairy as a satyr, flat backed, with slack drooping buttocks that rather resembled a pair of dirty rags flapping upon his upper thighs; the skin of those buttocks was, thanks to whipstrokes, so deadened and toughened that you could seize up a handful and knead it without him feeling a thing. In the centre of it all there was displayed - no need to spread those cheeks - an immense orfice whose enormous diameter, odour, and colour bore a resemblance to the depths of a well-freighted privy than to an prettythanghole; and crowning touch to these allurements, there was numbered among this sodomizing pig's little idiosyncrasies that of always leaving this particular part of himself in such a state of uncleanliness that one was at all times able to observe there was a rim or pad a good two inches thick."

I was lent the book and couldn't think of anything funny witty or cool...so I chose gross instead.

Got tagged with the nick name in high school. Later, while at Tandy, I did a proposal for an intelligent SCSI host adapter. Tandy was not interested in doing it.
Sought out this little company looking to get Tandy's business named Adaptec. Sold them on the idea, provided them with the design. Got Tandy to buy it, got SCO to natively support it and then went to work for Adaptec.
The nick was resurrected at Adaptec. I figured if it was going to keep following me around I might as well adopt it.
It was the AHA-1540 adapter.

back in high school, I knew I didn't have the money to go to college, so my only real goal was getting the diploma.
I did well on the tests (both performance and aptitude), but unless the class interested me I did just enough to get by.
so I ended up with things like A+ in math, computer sciences, some of the other science classes(the ones with labs not lectures), the history classes where the teachers focused more on what happened and why (did low d's if the teacher focused on memorizing names and dates).
I missed the maximum number of days every semester but never so many that I'd loose credit, never missed days when I was sick either, mostly burned them up at the lake, with a few friends and a couple girls.
anyway, this guidance counselor tries to motivate me and let me know how important these grades are (ya before hiring any welder they always want to make sure he had A's in minority studies or some such crap)
anyway he goes on and on for quite a while before he notices my eyes are kinda glassing over. at that point he kinda losses it and starts screaming a bit "do you not know how important this is? or do you just not care? so which is it? whats your problem ignorance or apathy?"
"I don't know and I don't care. what do you think?"
so he gives up and sends me back to class. on the way out he tells the secretary "Mr Apathy needs a pass back to class"
so that kind of stuck but after a couple weeks a friend of mine said it wasn't quite right. he says " you go beyond the normal levels of apathy. kind of like a super-hero, like captain America, so how about 'captain apathy'?- all the powers of the other super-hero's, he just don't care enough to use them"

"You Die?" I always thought it was pronounced "Euw-dee", and was some Texas cracker name common in trailer parks.
I found AW in 95-96 on AOL, and at first I shot my own teammates, bombed my own bases and flew off the edge of the map. Plus I spammed Ch1 with cries of "Glans is a potato peeler!" whenever he was up.
One time I upped a Spit, shot down two Buff teammates and lawn darted into the ground. While the Buff guys were cussing me out someone else said "What do u expect? That guy is an airhead"- so I changed my CPID to Airhd and went on to become the best, most beloved and most humble AW pilot EVAR.
And the longer it's been the better I was.:aok

No more gaping stuff on the FDB boards please SOB. Nash remembers the jist of it, but the story may be have to retold, as it leaves out key details, but I hope not.
What is more interesting to me is how people in AH have murdered the callsigns of members; well just misunderstood them of sorts, by not reading them right or by being lazy, or just not getting it. I don't get any of the Funky verbage that is some internet language like whatever he uses for owned which adds a "P" or something.
I as well of alot other always thought that "Udie", was "Oody." That is the most classic example.
I'd have to look at all the FDB's newer members as some make zero sense to me and would be interested to see what they mean, rather than what I mentally call them. For instance, in this thread, when I see a non-FDB name like "Schadenfreude", I think without trying to read into it, pronounced -"Stefen-rude". Makes no sense I know.

Flossy - nope nothing to do with dental hygiene or sheep! :D
When I first started in AW nearly 6 years ago ( :eek: ) my husband was already playing with the name of Zeb - short for Zebedee (http://www.zeb.clara.net/intro.html). Zebedee was a character from a 70s cartoon series, The Magic Roundabout (http://www.zeb.clara.net/magic.htm), who bounced in (lower half of body was a huge spring) at the end of each 5-minute episode to announce that it was "Time for Bed". The reason he chose that name was apparently two-fold; one because he kept 'bouncing back' to AW (had previously played as Rusty) and also because of the way he would land his favourite ride - the P38 - bouncing all the way down the runway. :)
When I started AW, I wanted something associated with Zebedee, and looked at the other Magic Roundabout characters.... I didn't fancy being Ermintrude, being the name of a cow! so I opted for Florence (http://www.flos.clara.net/airwar.html). To bring it within the 5 character limit at AW, I tried for Floss (didn't want to be Flo), but that was taken, so dropped the last 's' and Flos was born. :aok
Over time, I started putting my handle as Flossy rather than Florence as people kept asking me if I was named after the Italian city! Besides, I thought Flossy sounded a bit more feminine. By the time I came to AH, Flossy was may name of choice and I stuck with that, with the alternative of SKFlossy used for my second account. (SK=SkyKnights (http://skbg.org)) :D
-
<---- It's just my name :)
I couldn't get just frank, so I started with frank333, I lost that account some 4 years ago, so I rejoined as frank33, after loosing that one too I got stuck with frank3. Not intending to loose this one also :rolleyes:

My maternal grand-father, a former sharecropper and one of the finest, kindest, most considerate men I have ever known, used the term "shuckins" whenever he heard something that was unusual or amusing.
His family was descended from Huguenots who fled France because of Catholic persecution. His last name was Lagrone. Country-folk in these parts pronounce it "Leggern."
Regards, Shuckins/Leggern

I was on the wrestling team in high school. Our coach gave everyone a nick names like "the hammer" "drop kick" etc. I was "crusher" because of my size not my ability hehe. Anyhow it migrated to Krusher when I started gaming because others already had Crusher.

I wish I had something cool to explain mine but it was due to a lack of imagination and the need to get a handle quick that I used Diablo (a spanish word that I always thought sounded muy cool). Then the TX for the obvious because I knew someone had already taken Diablo.
*raises hand
I always thought it was "OOOO-dee" too but that was because I thought he was a huge Udet fan (as in fan of JG-3). :)

Weird, another good "Classic" example of callsigns you always see a diffrent name.
-mrblackstratbassmantmx whatever, I always thought every post made conjured a "Stripes" moniker via the movie; "The guys in my car club call me the "cruiser". OX:- Should have called him the dork!!"
-
And not to entice him either Airhead, (Airhead never fit you but I could pronounce it so it don't matter), it just seemed right.

a few years ago I was a contractor at lockheed working on their telecomm and fiber-optic lines. At night when we had time we would "play" on the F-16 simulators. One night while playing some "real" pilots came in soo we all started dogfighting. after a few dogfights they gave us all callsignes mine was wildcard due to my "unique" flying and fighting syle.:eek:

For 35 years I have been " Thorgierr Gunnarsson" in a renactor history club picked that becuse it sounded exotic . Years later While in Malmo I found the name to be as common as "John Brown" or "Fred Smith".

I have always liked Hogan's Heroes. When I joined Warbirds I wanted the call sign -klink but it was taken. In a rush of brilliance (yeah right) I picked wklink for Wilhelm Klink.
It didn't occur to me that guys might think of it as weak link, which I am called most often. In a way my nickname was defined to me by the rest of the arena. Probably due to my flying ability :lol
-
Mine started off as Mjolnir, the hammer of the Norse god Thor. Then, when I joined the AK's, I tried for AKMjolnir, but alas, the 8 character limit wouldn't allow it, and since no one could pronounce mjolnir anyway, I shortened it to Mj.

man were we in JG26 for EAW together a few years back? With Savlan, Rhen, lobo and all those dudes? I know Swoop was in that Brit squad that we used to consistantly and dramaticly spank on an unrelenting nightly basis :D
[edit]
PS guys since about 1998 or 1999 I started calling myself Ewedee :D But I didn't know if any of you guys new what it really was. There was a funny moment at the 1997 WB con over it :D

Yep, that's me.
Wondered if that was you? They still play with IL2:FB and I am a 'reserve' pilot but with all this work I am doing I don't have time to do much of anything, including fly AH. To be honest, after getting back from the Gulf it hasn't been quite as much fun.
If I didn't have a SimHq account with HTC I probably would end up cancelling it, I fly usually once a week, maybe twice.
I actually have flown AH since the beta, was in WB for a long time and AW for a short time. One of our other fellow JG 26ers, Jolly also flies AH, at least I assume he will when he gets back from Iraq. I tried to get Rhin into it, he would really get off on this game but the whole pay money thing is something he can't get past.

actually for getting the technician to disable blackout/redout and G limiter. pulled some impossible moves and pounced em. especially in the canyons. i would bank hard right at a turn pull vertical when outta their sight loop back and blast em. IRL that manuever woulda pulled like 13 or more G's. When they cried no fair I told em if they let me have the same amount of real flight hours and the same training then we could come back and put our skills to the test.

Wonder how banana picked his name?
My name is the name of a small deadly snake that lives in Okinawa. It is also the real nick name of the SR-71 (yes only the general public calls in the Blackbird). I like to fly high and fast so I thought the name was cool.

Well one of my favorite books was Fahrenheit 451. Montag is the main character in that book. It was called Fahrenheit 451 because that was the temperature that the books burned at. Read it whan I was quite young.

The movie Repo Man
Otto
"Find one on every BBS, you'll see..."
Somebody always has ****ing Otto or Racer X (tantor and sleestack are popular too), so you have to settle.
Charon is the "pilot of the river of death," from Dante's Inferno. Boring and pretentious I know, but it was way hard finding something "cool" at the time and it's a bit late to change now. I've had it since SVGA AW around 1993/94.
Skuzzy, I though I might have had a 1540 hanging around with an old scanner, but it's a 1502. I was going to get it autographed :)
Charon
-
Tahgut - Long story, but suffice to say that it's the caveman version of Target. Everyone in the Nightmare Squad knows where it came from.
-
a "boson" is an integral spin particle named after physicist Bose (alternativly, a particle that obeys bose-einstein statistics).
a "Bozon" is named after Bozo the clown and much like the boson it spins and always drops to the ground level no matter how crowded it is.
yes, I'm a geek.
Bozon

It's a reference to the fact that Otto from Repo Man is a common name on many BBS. It's also a slight modification of a quote from the movie, said by the guy in my Avatar (actually about the time the shot in the avatar was taken). Really know your Repo Man, huh :)
Charon

The last time I saw the movie was fifteen years ago.
I don't look at avatars.
But, I do seem to remember your quote around the time of the levitating Malibu.

Slash is because I love (old) G-n-R. Slash was taken so the 27 is my jersey number for hockey.

I remember a DJ remembering that when Elvis died, they played like 24 hour marathon of Elvis on his station.
He said when John Lennon was killed, they did a marathon of Lennon and Beatles.
Then he said, "I hope I am not driving accross New Mexico or Wyoming or somewhere where I get only one station to listen to when Axl Rose bite's it."

My BBs name stands for Right to Keep and Bear Arms. If you notice my sig, even though the copyright date is wrong, it is a direct quote of the Second Amendment from the U.S. Constitution. I'm a shooter and collector, and I will never move to Kommiefornia, New York, New Jersey, or Mass. The only place I can think of better than where I'm at would be Texas.
My AH handle DeltaAir, it because when I first hired onto Delta Air Lines, I was sitting at home, and setting up AOhelL. I had a few drinks and the nicks I was choosing were all taken, so I just typed in DeltaAir and it took it. By the time I decided to go and change it, I figured why should I do it, and never did.

I picked Maverick as it fit my lifestyle. I have always been somewhat of a lone wolf and didn't conform to what my contemporaries were doing in school. Later after I was on the Department I went to the motorcycle section as you operate alone there as well . All "motors" have to be pretty darn self sufficeint and willing to work by themselves. I also enjoyed the old TV western series Maverick.
My game callsign, Mav13, involves my squad as well. Great bunch of guys from AW to AH.

I live in Texas on the Mexican border, in a large community where Spanglish (or "pocho" in the local vernacular) is more predominate than English as language.
We're close to the Gulf of Mexico here, and I fish there a lot. There's a sub-community of fishermen who see each other a lot at the docks, launching and recovering boats and displaying/bragging about their catches.
Its common for folks to poke fun at each other regarding their boathandling and fishing skills, while bragging about their own.
"culero", or, rather, "Captain Culero", is my nickname with several of these folks. They gave me this affectionate tag becaue of my sweet personality and disposition, which I routinely display towards others there.
Its slang for "prettythanghole" locally (Spanish speakers worldwide have several different dialectic slang uses for this word, but that's what's prevalent locally along the Tex-Mex border).
culero (really a nice guy, trust me ;) )
PS - I actually own a boat named and labeled "SS CULERO" and had it for a long time before I found Air Warrior and needed a handle.

I'm just wondering if all you guys know how lucky you are
to be able to pick your own handles? Usually handles IRL are
given TO you, and not always complimentary ;)
Rhino is a nickname for the Phantom, and I chose it cause
I have no imagination and I used to fix em.

Work's gonna keep me too busy for the next couple of months to have time, but I should be in good shape by August, and that's when the reds start schooling - from then through October you just can't miss.
As coincidence would have it, I'm gonna be in Austin on business next week. Drop me an e-mail here (kmyers@sc2000.net) with a phone number, maybe we can get together and hash some plans out.
Check this fish camp (http://home.rgv.rr.com/casamyers/) out (that's me coming out the front door). Its about a 20 minute boat ride from Port Mansfield out into the bay. Its proof that being married ain't always bad (it belongs to my wife's cousin, and I have a key ;) )

LMAO! Gawd does that bring back a memory....
I was in that cabin one night with its owner and a couple of friends. We'd been rebuilding the dock during the day and were kicking back drinking a few cold ones and making BBQ.
One of those middle of the summer pop-up T-storms formed to the north, and started heading our way. We could see it was gonna be a doozy. I mean, the tops were HUGE, the lightning show was fierce, and there was a wicked cold wind blowing all of a sudden.
Heading from that cabin to the north (toward Port Mansfield) when there's a strong north blow is a hassle, the chop is nasty. Plus, as fast as this sucker looked to be moving, making it in before it hit looked dicey.
So we decided we were stuck. We all moved our boats to the south side of the dock, and rigged the tethers loose, so they'd ride prows to the blow.
Except for Don, that is. He was already pretty....umm, "mellow" from the beers, to the point he was nodding. I woke his bellybutton up and warned him, but he wouldn't listen. He got mad, said his boat would be just fine in the slip where it was (the slip you see in that pic). Don's boat was a Thunderbird, a tri-hull with tall gunwales but a really LOW transom....which transom was facing this storm.
More on this later, change subject for now.
Harold (my wife's cousin) and I were standing just inside the back door, peeking out and watching as this storm started to blow over us, when we noticed a light out in the bay.
Some fool was out there in a boat (I say fool because if I'd been nightfishing in a boat and seen a storm like that OTW I'd have either ran to port or the nearest beach a LONG time ago). Worse, the fool looked lost - he was literally driving around in CIRCLES out there!
Harold and I marveled at this for a while. I mean, visibility was still pretty much unlimited. You could see the lights from Port Mansfield on the horizon, an excellent point of reference. You could see the glow in the sky from Port Isabel, below the horizon to the south, another reference. Hell, we had a generator running and the cabin was lit up all over, and we were less than half a mile away to their west.
And there was no mistaking where that damn storm was :)
They finally clued up when we got a spotlight and flashed 'em, but it was too late, the lightning was starting to come down along with pea size hail. As they were heading towards us, we saw a lightning strike less than a hundred yards off their six.
I swear, when they got to the dock, they were so scared it was unbelievable. We could hear 'em screaming while they were still way out there, over the noise of the storm and all. Their friggin eyes were as big as pie plates. I thought the first one who got on the dock was gonna kiss it :lol
The beauty part was that once they got there, I realized I knew the boat driver. He's the owner of a local roofing company who I'd had the displeasure of having done business with before (put a short block in one of his pickup trucks and had hell getting paid). I wouldn't voluntarily piss on this guy's bellybutton if it was on fire. Now I had the opportunity to really make fun of his dumb bellybutton and laugh about it really good ;)
The dumb **** had just bought this boat, and with no more experience boat driving than that had decided to take himself and his brothers night fishing. He said they didn't realize there was a storm coming until it was almost on top of them and when we'd seen them going in circles they were totally and completely disoriented, no idea which direction was what. He swore he was so scared he'd never take it out after dark again, EVAR! ROTF!
I went to sleep a happy man that night, after having tormented this dumb sonofa***** for a couple of hours (true justice DOES sometimes happen ;) )
Next morning we wake up and Don's boat is sunk in the slip! LOL!
The waves from the storm had slopped over that low transom until they filled it enough to sink it, and then it filled completely up! There it was, sitting on the bottom as pretty as you can please!
So, for breakfast, after having had the pleasure of sweet revenge on Mr. Butthole Roofer for after-dinner dessert, I got to needle the crap out of the drunk who'd been so rude to me the night before when I'd tried to tell him what was gonna happen to his boat. ROTFLMFAO! I almost broke some ribs laffing at his dumb bellybutton :lol
Meanwhile the Butthole Roofer family slunk off before they became the subjects of derision again ;)
As a perfect cap-off, Don couldn't figure out how to float his boat until I told him I knew how, and put him to work like a galley slave (jury-rigged a rag-wrapped board across the transom cutout, and made him bail like a mad fool with the only five gallon bucket we had, with 2 gallons leaking in past the transom dam for every 4 gallons he threw out, took his hungover bellybutton an hour or so).
Then he was so pissed at me he deliberately ignored me when I told him, as we towed him into port, that he really needed to yank the spark plugs out, purge and oil the cylinders, and drain the crankcase.
Three weeks later when he got around to it the saltwater had locked that Johnson 140 solid :cool:
Thanks for reminding me, I have an all-day grin going now :aok

CREAMO. Uh, this is a long story..:0) I went to a friends party outta town way back in high school, and heard this story. Apparently this guy at the party named Gary was on a school club outing where they all camped out. Being young, one of the guys suggested they play “Creamo”. Gary asked what it is and they tell him everyone throws $5 bucks in a hat. Then they shut off the lights and the first one to …errr..spank Frank, ala beat Pete…you know complete doing the 5 knuckle shuffle on the piss pump yells “Creamo!” and wins all the money. So they shut off the lights and the guys are slapping their legs, carrying on and what not. Finally, Gary yells, “Creamo!” They turn the lights on and of course there are 10 fully clothed guys howling with laughter and poor Gary holding his trout. Well I thought that was god awful funny and years later when I got a new job in Chicago told the story at work. After awhile, they retold it and retold it, finally screwing it up so I was the victim, not Gary. The capper was when this flight attendant came into our maintenance office and said, “Ohhh, you must be Creamo!” It stuck ever since. What the hell…..:0)

The smaller shack houses the generator and a toilet seat over a hole (running water provided by tidal currents ;) )
In the picture you may see the refrigeration system, I am carrying it (ice available a 20 minute boat ride away).

Its a Johnson (pretty much the same thing as Evinrude) 140hp.
The boat is a Baymaster (look here) (http://www.baymaster.com/cat/shallow/22baymstr.html) which is a specialized ultra-shalllow-draft boat.
The bay I fish is the Lower Laguna Madre, which is approximately 150 square miles with an average depth of 2 feet or less. Its one of only 3 large hypersaline bay systems in the world, a rather unique fishing environment.
Several local boat manufacturers have developed here to service the peculiar needs for this type of water (we call it "skinny water"). That boat is 22 feet long and 8 feet wide yet will run at full speed in 6 inches of water. It will launch from dead stop to plane from 18 inches of water. The hull has a drive tunnel which funnels water to the propeller, allowing the prop to be pulled up into trim so that very little of it protrudes below the hull.
Before this type of boat was developed, many people fished here from what we call "scooters". These were small home-built flat-bottomed skiffs with no gunwales. My boat (pic of culeroboat) (http://home.rgv.rr.com/casamyers/boat-becca.jpg) is an example of a scooter (I built it in 1995, this pic is from December of 1996). The hull weighs 310 pounds and goes about 30mph with that 30hp Evinrude pushing it.
I love talking about fishing, don't get me started ;)

Great idea! I go as far as the south end of the land cut from Port Manny, sometimes. I've always wanted to check Baffin out but never been up there yet. Maybe we can plan some fish-missions for later this season!
You busy Thursday morning? I'm gonna arrive Austin late Wednesday, and leave mid-day Friday, but will be tied up with business crap the whole time except Thursday morning. Drop me an e-mail here (kmyers@sc2000.net) with a phone number if so and I'll call once I'm there, we can set up a breakfast meet or sumthin to hatch a plan.

Hehehe...don't let the way I described my glee with the other folks' misery fool you, when those big sparks start flying and there's big wind with ice balls in it I get pretty damned nervous myself.
OTOH, the hottest redfish action I have ever seen has been when there's storms in the vicinity. So there can be trade-offs ;)

I like it...it fits :D
