Mahi? What the heck is that? I thought that was a fish from Hawaii. Don't you mean Cabishot, or Dorado, or Drader, or Goudmakreel, or Dolfijnvis, or like here in Florida a Dolphin? :D :D :D 8)

:lol: Lol Yeah we use the names Mahi mahi, Dorado and sometimes Dolphin over here. At the moment I'm into the series Hawaii five 0 (new version) great series beautiful language imho. So I preferred the name Mahi above Dorado. And Dolphin wat can I say? who gave it that name? First time I visited the States (Miami) over 25 years ago I visited a restaurant having Dolphin on the Menu I thought what the heck are the serving sea mammals over here? I tried it anyway after some explaining but it was a bit confusing at first LOL :lol: :lol:

And that is why we too call it Mahi in the stores here. :help: I gave Richard a real rash accusing him of being a fake native Floridian when he called them Mahi.

Probably more common names for that fish, in more languages, than any other as it circumnavigates the world in warm waters, is a great fighter, is beautiful, and is delicious!

So you never call them Cabishots? According to Fishbase.org that's a common name in Papiementu.

Peter, this is an awesome build. Did you stretch the design +3 feet or are you considering the bracket as the extended length? What's your top end with that 300? thanks!

He didn't stretch the design, the extra length is due to the bracket :wink:
