The Boatpix.Com helicopter found us out on the water Saturday. Anyone knows how much they want for the 16x20's before I have them mailed out?

Out on Clear Lake , TX. had a boat full of my wives friends and kids and somebody said... "look at that crazy helicopter right off the water". He was chasing down a fountain across the lake. Next thing we know he was right beside us about 20 feet off the water with a photog hanging out the side snapping away. . we were only doing about 40 or so.

He flew around Texoma for one of the Poker Runs. I filled everything out. The website didn't even tell me how much until the very end - after you have already completed the order. It was $300 a piece for one of the smaller pictures. At that point I cancelled my order. Looking back on it though.........
and I think that picture would have been priceless. I should of bought one.

We finally had the opportunity to do it one beautiful day May 05. I took Tom, his son, two of his best friends for a ride out of Put-In-Bay. As soon as we turned the corner to open lake, a BoatPix helicopter swooped down on us and took a bunch of shots of us with Tom grinning ear to ear in every one.
It took forever to track them down, but after I explained the situation to the folks at BoatPix, they finally found the photos and delivered them to me at a significantly reduced price. We gave them to Tom and the rest of the crew for Christmas that year. He had the photo hanging in his shop where he spend most of his remaining days.
Tom passed away last August, but I will always remember the day I was able to give him one of his final wishes.

they are REAL expensive! Let them send you the pics, then call them and negotiate the price or send them back, i got 3 16x20's for just about 200 bucks.
