Re: New Houseboat Build I feel like that's plenty of flotation to go wider if you wanted to. Thoughts?

Re: New Houseboat Build Ben looking good.
I dont want to burst your Bubble but is that treated wood you have on that aluminum. Have you talked to anyone about that. The treated wood is very corrosive to metals. I have personally seen it eat through metal flashing and trim coil stock. Was told it does the same thing to aluminum.
Looks like I may be to late with the warning as you already have your deck on but I just wanted to caution you.

Re: New Houseboat Build Nope. No walls yesterday at about 5 pm. I passed ad was going to stop but no one there.
Ben where do you live. I seem to remember you asking me where I was at and you said you were in Larose.

Re: New Houseboat Build Naj, think about this for a second. Does he really want 10,000 forum members knowing where all his tools and supplies are for this build? I know you mean well, but it might not be a good idea to broadcast this. You know Larose better than me.

Re: New Houseboat Build Dean your a dumb ass. He already posted on page 2 where his barge is at. And we who transit that area know where it is.
Only you and your Democrat Friends are looking to steal from us hard working folks. You probably already dispatch your clients to Larose to find us.
I sure am happy that I have you on the Foe List so I don't see all your dumb ass post.
Now only if I can figure out how to block when people quote you.
