Thanks! We originally had her brought out to the west coast from Lake Michigan (where we purchased her).....quite an adventure after getting “screwed” by two transport companies who took a deposit and never moved her (lawsuits pending).
Still, all in all we love her and do a lot of the maintenance on her ourselves. One of our sons is a hydraulic guy, one a great wood guy and mechanical type, and one of our son’s friend is a diesel guy. Pretty much have the bases covered.
She’s a beauty!
Please let me know the shipper you used, and the two you did not.
I’ll put the good one on my site, and make sure the bad ones are not listed.
Thank you
I am retired from the heavy fuel oil (bunkers) business out of Duluth-Superior and know the Great Lakes and their trade patterns pretty well. We operated an 8,000 bbl fueling tanker in the Duluth-Superior harbor and had shore stations at Two Harbors, Silver Bay and Taconite Harbor.
I sold mostly Number 6 and 320/280 CST to the ore carriers. Now, courtesy of the EPA, all those big engines will have to be scrapped and replaced with diesels. There is even talk of moving toward LNG as a fuel.
One trip I'd like to make would be down the Erie Canal. A boat like yours would be perfect.
