I think on headboats it's a much more subjective situation and the old fashioned balance scales are always deciding a pool. I know for a fact, with boats that I have been on IF a question of the pool came up the captain had the final say, no matter what.
Thanks for the reply captain.. I REALLY like the idea of a digital scale, and also the captain having the final say on the boat, and not one of the mates..bob
