What if I wanted to get a truckload of concrete to the island?
Is there a barge on the lake that can haul a 70k lb load? All I can find is that 30k lbs appears to be the max from https://www.lakelifeservicesnh.com/winni-works-barge

What does it cost to get a barge to Rattlesnake from West Alton?

Any advice or warnings or perspective on Island construction and materials/equipment transport is much appreciated. Obviously, on an island less is more, but 'something' is still necessary.

Thanks.
When we started building, we had a lot of barge deliveries. I seem to remember a 300 dollar per hour charge, from the time the barge left it's marina, til the time it returned. That was 15 years ago...
