We rented this barge on Lake Powell for a few days.

It had twin 60 EFI Mercs on it that were just about enough to make it
go. It was pretty nice tho although I think they were planning on a
bigger crew. This thing sleeps about 11. Since my wife is pretty much
a passenger, it was a handful to dock.

With all that windage and shallow draft I'd imagine that it could be
scary in close quarters. Lake Powell is a spectacular place to go
boating however. We rented a 20 something I/O runabout for an
afternoon once and really enjoyed it.

We spent 3 nights on the boat, beached in different coves on the lake.
They had a fairly well equipped galley and most of the comforts of
home.
