Have you ever seen boat transfer ships? They are kind of interesting
- like little dry docks - bring the boat aboard, it's blocked, the
hold is unflooded and the ship takes off for where ever.

There are several different companies in that business but Lake of the
Ozarks is a long way from the nearest sea port. I'm guessing that to
transport it overland you'd have to completely dissassemble and remove
the flybridge.

See that all the time too with boats coming down Rt. 44 and 395.

The boat is on the back end of the trailer and the flybridge is on the
front.

Well it looks like the boat has sold.. The boat was actually in great
condition freshwater/one-owner/always undercover.. Owner just doesn't
have the time to use the boat and is currently out west.

The market has been very strange this year in the midwest. Smaller
bow-rider type boats are gold. I've got plenty of freshwater sea
ray's for sale right now at wholesale numbers and cannot get much
action.

As far as moving this boat.. Yes it is a 2 trailer move. we
disassemble the boat and put the bridge on a seperate trailer.
unfourtanley at lake of the ozarks we have to do it everyday theres no
other way to get these boats to our lake unfourtanley. We have a
bunch of these 56 and 57 voyagers on this lake along with some larger
boats. all have had to come in on 2 trucks.

I can understand the thought of "Smaller bow-rider type boats are
gold."

And the bigger yachts are being venerable in a market. Chuck was
probably right, about the second mortgages etc. and 600 thousand is a
bit steep for the average working stiff to be paying for a yacht,
especially one that will probably do more sitting than cruising. not
counting maintenance and slop fees that go on wether the boat is being
used or not.

Still, there are people out there that have "serious" money that can
buy a boat like that and put it on a credit card. But I suppsoe a
person can get bored with anything, especially if you have the funds
to pay for such comodities.

out of curiosity, could the boat be chartered out for the weeekeders
and time share crowd??




Then again.

A $600,000 barge of a boat on the Lake of the Ozarks is absurd. But I
guess it is the appropriate place for one of those monstrosities.

The last time I was down there, there were lots of beautiful inboard
mahogany runabouts just about everywhere, and for us normal folk, 16'
ski boats with outboards. Sounds like the place has really gone downhill.

Harry, if you want to be considered "normal folk" you will have to go
through the nominating and election process like everyone else.

Is there anyone here willing to propose and second Harry to normal
folk status?




Maybe next year.

I'm normal enough to no spend $600 on a p.o.s. barge to keep it on a
modest body of water.
