[QUOTE="TexasLoneStar56, post: 385410, member: 14624"] WOW! Never thought I'd hear from a neighbor on here. :D This barge is located down river from Hwy 14, about 1/2 way to Big Sandy. Some of the other barges up river (Hoard Rd to 14) belong to folks we know. That's exactly what these boys did; took an old pontoon and went from there. I thought I had a pic of that posted, but I will post another one. I think they paid $600 for it, trailer and all, and then sold the trailer after it was floated. I have an idea of what these guys have in it, around $3k ea. But, you have to consider that they special ordered the car port to exact size, with a heavier gage metal, and that alone was $2700. They worked on it all one winter, then got back to work on it in August of last year. It's been quite a build! I am not sure of what all they had to do about getting it cleared. I do know the game wardens told them that as long as it did not have a motor, it did not required registration. However, it must never block the natural flow of the river, or block traffic on the river. Perhaps we will run into each other some time. 8) I will send you a PM with some names you can contact locally. Thanks again for your comments! M Tyler, Texas [/QUOTE]
