Cool! Thanks Rich.

I would carry my tackle box and my trusty ugly/baitcaster, cut the radials and do me some fishin' Better than any bass boat out there!
I don't know if those gun bubbles have doors in them or not but if they do, I'ed put a poll in each one. Now that would be good fishin'! A guy
can wish can't he?

Oh yes, those blisters open. When PBY's were used as amphibious rescue planes, the crew would use ropes or boat hooks to bring people in that way. It's one of the lessons applied when they developed the Grumman Albatross-- pulling people up through those blisters sucked!

That won't work for me.

I would have to leave one engine running to power the air conditioning.

All my fish would be of the froze type in a box.

HEY!, you scared all the fish AWAY!!

I don't think to many people would argue with a man that rolls up to a fishin' hole in a catalina. Specialy if it still had
the cannons hanging out the sides.
