katdrvr-No, never tried that one!

Got my new props last week. Ready for March 1!!

How are the new engines?

See what happens when your props are spinning IN.

Holy cow!

WOW , what a save....that thing must have one killer bilge pump or pumps in it!!....very impressive.....Fred

Not alot of control coming down river with a 5 knot current and a tug that can push 6 knots.A very lucky master.was that a heavy rain flow or just the area? i dont think I would have wanted to be in his shoes that day! Great pics, Mark B.

I've always been impressed at how heavy-duty those river barges were built, but never guessed it would take that. Glad someone got some shot. It would be difficult to back that story up without them.

If i was the captain i would have played it cool like i planed it. Yelling at everyone to get the bardge hooked back up. then when back under way ask casually (are there any other bridges ahead?)

Pretty F'ing AMAZING!!!!!

And who was taking those pictures, the bridge tender while taking a dump in the woods!!
