The silvertip has a white flash along the fins, the O.White tip has big splotches like a softball size almost. Very dangerous sharks! The boat looks like the standard yamaha longboat type. Extremely servicable and stable, great sea keeping boats, if a little damp in a chop. The length vs beam gives them very good stability and means they cut the water really well, which is why a 24ft boat like that (I assume anyhow, 24ft is a standard Yam longboat size) only needs a 70hp mtor, and I bet it'll make her fly too! That is one helluva dogtooth! Wish I had a boat like that parked up at Zipolo Habu waiting for me! |
