Giant houseboat launch

[redneck joe]

2.5 million dollar refurb on a 113 x 21 houseboat.

Couple things of note.

They used the stern drives that were on there apparently, they were used.
The laun h was delayed by 30 or so minutes AT THE RAMP because they needed gear oil. One was low and HAD TO RUN GET SOME. On this big a project one would think that kind of thing would have been on a pre move checklist??

There was a band new houseboat was built and launched on Dale Hollow Lake 120x22 footer, called Knots 2 Scrappy. Took 3 years to build and cost 2.5 mil. The water was high which helped but the trailer still broke in half trying to launch it.

Look forward to seeing it

Every so many years a houseboat with I/O has to be pulled out by the stern leaving the bow in. The trailer broke installing it, wonder what they will try when doing it from the stern?

Will be another interesting thing to watch
