I've seen a lot of these dual-hulled inflatable pontoon boats used in America for fly fishing and i'm interested in getting one for my father's birthday.

Are there any businesses out there shipping these to the UK?

How do I go about getting a job working on an Alaskan fishing boat? I would like to work on an Alaskan fishing boat but don't know how to go about getting into the business. I'm a hard worker and have worked in an industry where i was on call 24hrs a day for 6-7 days a week for the past 7 years. I would like to know if there is a way to get information or contacts to get into the commercial fishing industry in Alaska. The 24hr 6 day a week job i was speaking of was working in the towing industry in the Mojave desert. There aren't a lot of people that can work 36 hrs straight in temperatures that hit 125 F + every summer. It's not so much that as it is that I have a lot of heart. I don't want to do this for the money(i would be lying if i said that the money wouldn't be nice) but I want to do it to challenge myself. To be able to step off of one of those boats and say that I did something that not many people can do or would even try to do. I have always pushed myself and this seems like a good opportunity.

(Other than shortening the eventual life of the car battery.)
