is all that cheaper then just having the boat shipped to Texas?

[albypine]

oh my..what a mess...poor 2.5's

If someone could follow the progress of that concraption on it's voyage, it would be one of the most entertaining boating events ever.

That's what I was thinking..... I cant imagine it actually getting on plain... 65'

[specboatops]

Some of the comments on that forum were pretty funny as well.............. Didn't look like the motors wera/are deep enough to push that barge.....

[albypine]

Thaplaint's what I was thinking..... I cant imagine it actually getting on plain... 65'will burn them motor's down trying to get on plain:nonod: 65 foot ....that thing has to weight over 50 ton's

Looking at the whole set up i doubt he has plans to plane out. Looks like a slow idle ride on the IC to Texas to me. Keep those 2.5`s below 2000rpm and he won`t do to bad on fuel either.

DBthe nic will be wore off the cly before he get's there:nonod:.By the size of the tank it look's like he is in for one very long trip.. 5 mph x how many mile's:eek:.. be lucky if he get's 5mph going against the tide, unless he plan's on running with the tide and anchoring till the tide change's.Just a guess at 50 ton's but if a storm kick's up he is done:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:Hope he has a tug drag him out of port ... Really hope someone will post a video of that thing trying to move under the power of them poor 2.5's and what they sound like trying to move that thing:nonod:

Wouldn't it be cheaper to truck it? Should have called Frank Mole!

[mr fun]

the cost to dis-assemble the house to clear bridges would far out weigh the cost of the repair. I'd bet he makes it, the choice of props seems suspect? :rolleyes: but run them in their desired range, straight shot, no ICW, bet he makes it. nice to see the fat guys pinching pennys, :thumbsup: fum ducker out :cool:

The guy with the master plan is the one who crashed it if I read it correctly. He gots it all figured out . As long as his driver doesn't break it on the way back, they'll patch it up and make a million $?? Where's my rolly eyeball deal??

yup, the biggest waste of those engines I've seen so far

[300x Stoker]

Probably going to point it in the general direction he's a goin and run 1 motor. That way he's got 2 more spares when the first one konks out. On plane?? It aint a race,,,,,,,,,,,,,.. A splendid voyage. Cocktail in hand. Not a care in the world. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Maybe some enthusiastic passengers below deck??? Sell tickets for a Martini cruise to Texas!!! Guy's a genius.

[Stoker1]

[OverDaLimits]

thats every bit of 3knots right there how crazy can some1 be? i wouldn't be caught dead on that thing. but then again it is what it is!! maybe he cant afford to put diesels in it......

[Fish]

wow, definitely a waste. i understand the theory and appreciate the ingenuity, but definitely the wrong motors, in fact, i cannot think of a worse motor except maybe a drag or s3000

He will hit every dock he approaches, that setup wil have no reverse control what so ever.... the thrust will hit the transom..........
