Zombie proof for when the apocalypse comes?

Hey it's got a crane on the stern for lifting the machine tools onto it and for lifting up the front end of the garden tractor.

Where was this 6 months ago @Brent H ? One trip up Hudson Bay and your move would have been done.

Talk about a cool house boat! No property taxes. Huge workshop. Full living quarters. Just take it someplace nice and private, run it aground, and life is good!

I actually looked over this, it is HUGE. There is already partial shop on it and it comes with a lot of generators etc. Even forklift.

I looked too. It's amazing. Looks like an old ferry. The work shop is partially equipped. I wasn't kidding about it making a nice house boat. A bit over the top, but still!

It's the old Queen of Tsawassen. She used to do service between Vancouver and Victoria - I rode her a few times in her day, before she was retired in 2007.

ah no.

You don't run it aground, because sea level rise means you want to retain hull integrity. Just install sound mooring at the desired location.

There is a dude in Muskokas who is putting barges on lakes in Cottage country just to have cheap places with zero tax. The locals are up in arms.

I'd buy this in a second if it was on georgian bay

So far the offer is a joke - the ship is wort over 200k in scrap alone.

Yes, but the cost of scrapping it is also very high.

But I agree, the bid is still a joke. It ain't over yet.

Begs the question of scarcity of coastal guns or whether we can make them ourselves

Forget castle law this is naval law

 

[Janger]

I’m sure it’s full of lead paint, asbestos, chemicals, imagine the disposal costs. It’s not big enough to tow to Bangladesh for the ship breakers there to be worth it. So it sits. Like the liberty fleet in the USA. Medium Big ships. Moored for 80 years now.

138 car garage,,,,,,,,, nuf said. LOL

Hmmm i don't have enough water to float it, dugout is to small.

tow to Bangladesh for the ship breakers the

I've seen one of those ship breakers in action in Greece....biggest damn hyd rams I've ever seen, ram shaft was prob. 6 ft. in dia. and 2 on each side of the guillotine, would chop a 4 ft section of ocean liner off at each slice.

Too bad I can't get that on this side and up the Trent system into rice lake, I could have my own little island getaway 15 minutes from the house . She doesn't know how lucky she is sometimes.....

She said I can't get any MORE boats, but that I could sell all my current ones and get one nice one.
