Paddle WheelerI wonder what's the biggest boat I can put on Lake Gaston? I'm thinking about buying a paddle wheeler and turning it into a floating restaurant. |

That'd be pretty awesome to see floating around the lake.
Maybe you could put a casino in it. International waters in the middle?

I wish. Maybe I could declare it part of the Cherokee Indian reservation.

If I remember correctly, those thing have a very shallow draft. I don't see why it couldn't float in the lake with no problem, just might be difficult and expensive getting it to the lake. | ||

Yeah, NH is correct, it'd probably be more expensive to transport it here than the actual cost of the boat. As long as you stayed in a main body of water, it'd make it.....I wouldn't go pulling in any shallow coves. | ||

I just wonder could I make it more than a seasonal thing. 325,000 is a lot to put in a boat. | ||

Three and a quarter.....thats cheap in today's times.....LOL! A floating Pub would be kool, think of it vs. building one on land! | ||

Still looking at the permits doomster. | ||
| THE CURE |
The bible thumpers will never let you have a floating bar on the lake. | ||
| doomster |
Thats for sure..........but if I could pull up and get a margarita it's be right on time.....

If things go right you might just get that opportunity doomster. | ||

It'd be sweet, let me know if you need a part time bartender. With all the drunks up there, all I'd just need to work 1-2 evenings......LMAO!!! | ||
| Cap'n Slappy |
Somehow I think you might drink up all my profits.

But it'll be safer. The drunks would drown before they make it to their car. | ||

You know, I bet I drank more before I was 21 than after. I drink about 3-4 times a year now to actually say I drink much. I might drink a beer every now and then with friends. I just can't take being hung-over now.......
