Oh, ok. Thanks. I love the idea but it just wouldn't work here. Im not going to bore you with why.
Ok, so this post has nothing to do with boats. Its just an interesting tidbit of life on the Yukon if you are interested. Thanks for the laugh....
There's not much risk of grounding it because from one shore you go straight out to the channel until you get to the next shore where you drive...
I mentioned it in one of the novel-like replys. The problem is that the freight has to be hauled to Nenana AK which is one hour one way so you've...
Im told that you dont ever operate near the banks unless you are willing to drop $500-$1000 on a new lower unit. You never know when currents...
I really like where this is going but forget that the current is a real problem when you are sticking 60 feet out into the river (40 ft boat with...
Spot on. I've seen that design many times. Just drive the boat up into the notch in the rear between the two main logs, lash them together and...
I wouldnt call it a road but there is an ATV trail to the shore due north of the parking lot. But its not desirable for heavy loads like the...
Yes, The Alaska River Highway YouTube video is 100% accurate. Ten minutes in they are at my village. And yes, it looks just like that.

I'd rather just wing it. It's more interesting! :) I didn't overlook the fuel requirements, I assumed they were reasonable. As for the three...
There's one issue I completely forgot about. Even out here in the wilderness, far removed from society, US laws still apply and are enforced. I...
Another limitation. Yes we have welders (the device and the human) but at 15 cents per pound steel would get really expensive to ship it by...
Like I said, Ive appreciated your responses and didn't mean to push you away, just wanted to let you know what my limitations are. There are...
This is the kind of setup Ive seen here a couple of times. I would want to cover the deck so its flat so its easy to walk on. So rather than just...
Google Maps Tanana AK. My house is blue dot. The Barge Landing where I would park it in the winter is to the left (west) and the end of the road...
I stated the SOR in the initial post. Ive been designing this thing in my head for three years now, weighing all the pros and cons and debating...
I live in Tanana. The road is 6 miles upstream. There are houses along the bank but on the other side of the road. Not stringing extension...
It can be a lot of cargo and it can be heavy. We have heavy equipment here for roads and construction projects so if we have a 1000 lb...
Yes, We leave our trucks at the parking lot at the end of the road all the time. They are safe because its a 4-5 hour to get there.
