Leanne naa that cargo is not worth transporting by boat its cheaper to fly. the things i am thinking of hauling are durable and costly to fly. I might make less money but i wont have to deal with the authorities trying to shoot me out of the water. all in all a good trade. *Are you going to be hauling cargo for hire? Or just trading stuff on the sly? Have you ever taken a cargo boat with stuff in i'ts hold into another country? Coffee is a very durable cargo green. You can carry alot in a very small space. 20'x8'x8'6" can carry around 50,000 lbs or 40'x8'x8'6" can carry 100 thousand. *Good luck on the Junk, I would love to have one, but feel they are more suited for near coastal and harbor work. I'd consider Kawlon Harbor and buying vs building new...go with a ming dynasty design. If you build, will it be steel? Do you have a boat now? *I saw you mentioned Work boats, what type of work?

They tend to reach their destinations, regardless of what they encounter on the way.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hi Mike, Yes they are, I checked out many in Hong Kong back in the 80's. Most were over a hundred years old. Very sturdy, first ever to incorporate water tight compartments. Have you heard of Khan's lost fleet? Joe |
