It is more responsive to trolling motor inputs then my Bass Boat. I suppose that is because there isn't all that much of it in the water. It is more on the water. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

All I can say is that there is probably going to be a lot of fanfare on the true maiden voyage. If we had such a thing, this Bremer Barge would have to be nominated for a Hill-Billy Engineering Award along with the pier at Jim's Place. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Your project has been amazing to follow, both for what I've learned from it and my admiration in your skills in building the barge. It's posts like yours that make me think of new things, or see ideas that I never had on my own, that bring me to these forums. Thank you, Eddie Lake Marabou http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=139488&fpart=1 It's not how many ideas you have, but how many you make happen. 3/4 and 4 acre ponds.

It should mount nicely on the open angled part of the ramp(dock). We won't find out for sure until we return from our �way way up nort fishin� trip�. $\:\)$ $\:\)$ Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Sunil will be disappointed, expecting all manner of raucous fanfare and merry making. My mother had a lot to do with making this all possible so we christened the Barge in her honor on the 4th of July, 2008. Here we are heading out on the Mule: Mom on the Barge ready to rumble: Life is Good on Bremer Pond!
