Do they deliver?
Sounds like the dock may take up Cherry Creek though.
I figure we take the boat and the barge, sell the barge to some environmental group that would sink it for coral reef, and use the cash to upgrade those computers to Windows 9 frickin 8 and spend the rest on beer and diesel. Keep it somewhere nice like Houston, and take it out and tear up the f'n Gulf.
Works for me. make it happen.

I would like it to go to the Pueblo Reservoir!Quote:

The gutted minelayer they used for it's drydock.Quote:

I call dibs on being captain.
In order to qualify for the free boat, you have to take it's moveable barge as well. It's in the article.Quote:

Cougar is 30' away and you don't know it is there. Now you want to be the Captain of something the size of a house. I see anything smaller than 30' getting crushed on the Pueblo Reservoir. Pieces of wood and fiberglass for miles. [LOL][Luck] Huh? What boat?Quote:

I does need water for the sides so we can have a giant "slip and slide" on it. [Coffee] So just how many gallons per mile does it get?
Hey now! I think it would be good for me to take out some of the little guys and know not to screw with us. I am thinking a jolly roger style flag with a white co-ar15 boltface in the center of the skull!Quote:

Either way, count me in! I can't cook, so don't ask me to be the ship's cook... I can't clean so don't ask me to swab the deck ye landlubbers, but dammit if I can't play video games pretty damn well so I guess I can be the helmsman... I can drive anything with wheels (and many others without).
Oh did I mention- I can provide quite a few busty wenches! Garr!
I second the slip and slide notion.Quote:

That is what I'm thinking. Take the minelayer and the Sea Shadow, then just sell or donate the minelayer to a scrap company.
Unless it's a Navy stipulation that they MUST remain together...
Let's go smoke some somali pirates!... on the other hand I guess the name "Party Barge" still works.
[Evil]
Our flag can be a skull and cross bottles
Yes! Also I like the skull and crossbones with bolt in the forehead idea.
Heck, I'd be willing to throw in a buck or two.Quote:

Sounds like the perfect somali pirate soloution. I'm in.
I think you're on to something here! First case of 5.56 is on me! And forget the jolly roger- let's have our flag be the jolly AR (Skull and crossed M4s).Quote:

To recap:
Slip n Slide.
Busty wenches.
Young ladies of question moral standing.
Dead somali pirates.
And potentially making millions escorting ships through pirate ridden waters.
Sooooooo in!

I'd offer to be First Mate, but I know nothing about nautical stuff and I can already here the "Gilligan" and "Little Buddy" comments if I did.
The only problem I foresee so far is that records aren't accurate with regards to capacity. Wikipedia says a crew of 4 and 14 knots. FAS.org says a crew of 10 and top speed of 10kts.
Guess there's only one way to find out... [Muaha]Quote:

Probably doesn't even pass emissions.
It's in San Francisco, so good! [Rant1]Quote:

Sadly its probably already in pieces. It's no longer showing on the list of ships available for donation or transfer. [Rant2]
