My old man moved a houseboat from Apache to Roosevelt Monday. Turns were tight for me and my little boat but this took the whole day :eek

This was just a weekend deal, still hauling gas and diesel.
This boat belongs to my brother's bosses GF. She's got the party pad and he has the Nordic :good

the crane was probably free because this lady's X is someone high up in Marco's management. I didnâ€™t get to go because he moved it on Monday :cry

my mom went with him and I think she still has passenger seat stuck in her seat

Only problem was making the turn at Three Mile Wash, the rear of the pontoons wanted to drag so they had to crib up the trailer to get around the corner. My dadâ€™s short ass Pete probably makes a tighter turn than my pickup and he said he could have made it around that corner if the boat was 6" higher on the trailer.

I have been with him moving some very interesting things and that boat would be a 2 on his difficulty scale

Oil field roads make the Apache trail look like a straight flat paved highway :rotflmao
