Funny.... but COOL at the same time.

Dski and I did about 6 years of hard core boating back in the late '80's/early 90's. We spent many days/nights/weekends/vacations on the water. One of our many excursions was a week on Kentucky Lake, camping in our first boat (KY Lake is a bit more civilized, me thinks, than KY River). Anyway, KY Lake is connected to Lake Barkley via a channel at the very north end. For anyone unfamiliar with these body of waters, this is BIG waters; basically very wide river systems One loooong day, we took our boat (a 21' deep vee cuddy Celebrity) across to Barkley, then followed it about 50 miles south into Tennessee...until it turned into more of a wilderness river. Very beautiful, very unpoplulated, and very creepy to think "gosh, what if we broke down?". When we followed this 1/4 mile long channel off the main river, 15' wide thru 10' tall reeds, to this tin shack boat dock with a gas pump to fill 'er up, the 2 "gentlemen" that served us had me quietly saying under my breath as I turned the ignition key "oh please baby....start".

That vid is worth the few minutes.
Don't know why they call themselves the Moron Bros. though.
Maybe we can get 'em to dock at Branson.

Nice!
I think if I ever built a shack boat, I wouldn't want it to go nearly that fast.
When the guy first pulled out that banjo, I expected a few chords from "Deliverance".

That would be awesome for night crappie fishing.

I have always thought that I could live on a houseboat, and settle back in Tennessee where my folks are from, but that was not what I had in mind. I would love to spend a day down there on that floating shack, but I think the snakes would prevent me from it.
Too sad, our lake water looks like that river water.
