Bills Custom Calls · September 02, 2009, 08:11:04 PM

I am towing a home made paddle boat that is 32 ft long 14 ft high and 10 ft 8 inches wide

I am putting the boat in the river at the Rayland Marina that is about 90 mile trip one way

This should be an exciting day for me
If I remember the camera I will be taking pics and posting them here

That should be interesting to say the least

. Hope they let you pull the whistle

And who's paddleing?

Bills Custom Calls · September 03, 2009, 04:11:41 AM

Well the this boat is powered by a little Isuzu diesel engine and the paddle wheels are driven by hydrolics

Semp This boat has many hours in the water I didn't help build it so it should be safe

Jim
It is my whistle :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Pat I seen a couple like that today but the one I took down there is a side paddel

FinsnFur · September 03, 2009, 08:22:14 PM

Could we see one more picture of it?

Those are pretty cool to see

We got one that comes through up here on the Mississippi once in a while and it really draws a crowd.
