    Does he have a website?

    Love my boat,but is unbeachable (very high tidal ranges),very rarely use the 1300 hp as anything over 20 knots is a hazard for whales and hitting logs,and storing other toys is a PITA.

    If it had a small drop bow I could have an ATV aboard to explore thousands of km of otherwise inaccessable area.

    I picture lots of skylights,etc.

    I'll drop by the local welding shop that built it. They have all the details on the wall there in the office. See what I can track down. It'll be before the end of this week as I have to go up town to buy more stuff for my boat.

    How come you can't buy a folding trailerable pontoon barge?
