Default New Boats for the lake?

Do you think this would be a good entry for the Steam Boat parade at Lee's Mills?

The yellow "boat" has been around for years. It doubles as a hot tub!

What is the smoke stack? Is that to heat the water like a hot tub, or is that to power, and move the "vessel" around, or both?? And what is burning in that thing to produce the smoke? It looks like the burn chamber is half under water...??? Kind of looks like a wood stove half way under water. I would like to see a picture of that contraption out of the water. Interesting...

There used to be/is a wood hot tub on Cow that was configured the same way - a wood burning stove half submerged in the water to provide the heat. The stove had a wood fence around it to prevent people from getting burned.

Agree, unless someone talks about the photos going “viral.”

Then it goes to the Covid-19 thread.

( My Family does not feel I am very funny either)

Default Being nice...

Yesterday I was heading east on Rte 11 toward the Alton Circle, and as I passed Dunk's, the was a pickup hauling a large center console that had quad Merc 300's for power. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my phone out in time to get a picture. I'm guessing a 30+ footer. Excuse me while I drool again .

That thing looks like it could go out in early march and break some ice.

Dave, a couple of these would look good hanging off the back of your boat...
