All of what you say sounds great.
The way I see it I would rely on your knowledge of local waters so you decide the port and fishing destinations. The boat can cruise @50mph if needed. I have 600 mile range on 330 gals. That should give you plenty to think about when time comes.
If we take expenses off the top do we add up expenses and split it 4 ways even. Then payback all expenses from the winnings, what's left gets divided the 40/30/15x2? No matter what we do I'm pretty sure my sponsors will pay the entry so that is zero.
I will bring a pair of rods that were designed just for kings with Torium reels on them. Then what ever you have will round out the gear. Bait will also be your choice as you know the local fishery and what is hot.
Also on the $10K bonus check to see if all team members have to be registered with SKA. Two years ago a team here lost $40K due to an oversight in the rules. They thought just the Capt. had to be registered. It was a tough mistake to swallow but they won $25K one week, week two a new contender boat/motor/trailer and a bonus of a dodge Hemi truck for winning both events. So they didn't cry too much about the $40K for breaking the record.
Also are there any boundaries? they are talking about that down here to keep the fast boats closer to home. From my port I can run around the keys, fish the atlantic and make weigh in all in 8 hours.[sly]
