As a mate on a 2 man boat I got 20% in the 90's
I pay 20% each if it's 1 or 2 mates
There tend to be more trips without a saleble fish
At an equal share for the boat.
The boat loses money...meaning the captain loses part of his share and makes less than the mate.
If you account for non fish days expenses there would be nothing to split. Who would mate for a boat that doesn't pay?
