I 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? Smile

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

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.

The bible thumpers will never let you have a floating bar on the lake.

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!!!

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