He’s not actually at Pirate’s Cove. Their docks are on the north side, in Roberts Bayou. He’s anchored out in the open-ish water just off the ICW
I haven't run any numbers at all, but I had assumed that the SA/D would be less than 10.
was the lead he piled into the diesel tanks lready on the boat thus reducing the weight of the diesl hi can carry? or did he bring the lead on to stuff in the tanks and do we know how much lead there was?
Took many a ride on that ferry. They used to have some smaller and just as old WWII vintage craft.
Ugh. You made me go and re-watch (skim) some of his video's.
I gotta apologize. I watched the first video and saw them add up the 1000 lbs. That's where that video ended. Didn't realize there were multiple videos. I cannot offer you enough apologies for making you watch that tripe.
The 1000lbs figure was from the lead bars he had stacked on the foredeck for like 9months.
13 years ago. That makes a kind of sense -- predated the steep rise in lead salvage prices around 8 years ago. At one point, wholesalers were buying semi-pure lead (like wheel weights, fishing weights, spent bullets from firing ranges) at $1.10/lb. Lead acid batteries were fetching $0.25/lb wholesale, and about $0.10/lb paid to the general public at a salvage yard. I got handed $720 USD cash for a dozen large telecom batts I took to the local crushers.
That's a chief reason the second-hand industrial battery supply almost disappeared. Worth more as salvage than as resale.
I fear for the dog that they are feeding onions! A serious no-no.

He end up in the channel, them barges will clean his clock.
It’s not really a boat. You can float a bathtub just fine, just don’t rig it and expect to sail.
