Put her on the Missouri river and raid Harrah's Casino in Kansas City! :twisted:

She only has a 4 foot draft with the rudder in place so river navigation is certainly not out.


There is a lot of cosmetic work to be done on her but I think she is sound on the structuraly end. This is going to be a really cool project.

--actually one of the things myself and Dongal have talked about is taking her to KC and sailing her down the Missouri River to Jefferson City (her new home port) once we get her 'sea worthy'

I'd do it but I want to make damn sure we have a grasp on manuevering her, those damned river barges rarely give way to smaller vessles:)
