I know this is a longshot but: Does anybody know of any used deck boats for sale?
Thanks,
Laurie

Are deck boats the same as airboat or are deck boats those flat party boats that usually have a couple of outboards on them?

There are some regional names, but a deck boat is a pontoon boat.

 

[PrimroseMom1]

No. Specifically called a deck boat. New to me also. I don't know if they go by other names also. however they have a specific search category just for them on boating sites.

I was mainly curious bec by SIL rents equipment including airboats and he might have had one for sale, but that won't help you.

o sad to hear that. A little voice can fill a room. Are you having a funeral?

[COLOR=000000]We will this weekend. Jim dug up the concrete blocks we used for stepping stones back when we had our above ground pool & is using them to redo our “family graveyard” in the back. Right now I have Peetey wrapped in paper towel in a Ziploc bag in my freezer. With his name written on the front. And I don’t know why that sounds funny, but it does. He’s still making me smile.[/COLOR]

I had a bad winter, I lost 2 rats and a 10 yr old budgie. I put them in the freezer until spring and the ground thawed. (Rats are a bad pet for children, if the kid gets sick she/he will make the rat sick. People think it is the rats that make kids sick.) One day my mom was baby sitting, went to the freezer to see what is there to fix to eat. I had a tin foil package, she un rapped it, the rats were in a dish towel, well You guessed it............ Any other mother would be shocked. Not mine. Years earlier she survived the cottage cheese mistake. I had several cottage cheese containers with fishing worms, one had cottage cheese.

My grave yard was by the asparagus and rhubarb. Winter deaths, funeral in the spring.

Not an like an airboat. I've only seen a couple of pictures, but husband is looking for one or maybe a bay boat. Deck boat has seating in front is boat too. Something for fishing or cruising river/lake.
I really don't care what he gets as long as it has some sort of canopy over top. This is his thing. IJust tell me what time you want to leave and how long we will be gone so I can feed everyone. I'm easy. NO smart comments.

Do you mean a party barge ? You have to look it up by that name to find ads. Pam

A party badge is also when several boats tether themselves to gather, (usually sailboats), you hop between boats, you have kitchens, bath rooms, in the cabins. The party's usually last all night, when tired you have your home right there for some, just go to bed. On the water rules reman the same...... Unwritten rules. Tune everything down by 9:00-10:00 PM. Sound carries under water. On Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years you get quite in stages, loud music down at 10:00, 12:01 on those days unless moored at a dock, then only New Year's Eve party until 12:01. Accidents happen to people that are impolite and rude.

PS: dry landers do not realize how sound travels under water. That there are people and family's living on boats. When I would be laying in bed I could hear someone practicing I think, not sure, a French horn, or (assuming the same person) a violin. It was haunting and beautiful. But he stopped at 10:00 on the noise. Then I would lesson to the snap shrimp and lonely fish calling for a mate without accompaniment. If I could not have chickens that is the second best way to live. It gets under your skin, grows and become part of you. I enjoy my chickens so much I could never have retreats on not returning to the sea. I'm so lucky. I have chooses, and found memory's.

Our processor mixed the ground deer 50/50 with beef. It's been good that way. I will have to ask them about lamb. I'm sure there are a lot of opinions on the subject.

Next time, have your processor mix 1/2 of your venison with pork then the other half with the beef.... maybe add a lil jalapeno if he does that....the sausage in with the venison and the jalapeno was some of the best i have ever eaten! Next fall, DH wants to buy our own contraption to make our own sausage...and half deer half pork HE SAYS is the only way he will make it...more flavor!

When I googled "yellow matter on chicken vent" the images were really yucky and DEFINATELY not what is going on with Lizzy. That BYC one I found was almost identical. She has really been a pretty good girl through all this indignity.

I am catching up, but in case this ordeal hasn't been answered, I found this...
Spirochaetosis is a condition caused by a group of bacteria known as Brachyspira, a type of spirochaete.

The symptoms associated with spirochaetosis can include the following:

• failure to gain body weight

Think about the kitchenaid stand mixer.You can get sausage attachment, pasta, and other things plus a mixer that last forever. Pam

A PARTY BARGE or PONTOON is a large, flat individual boat with large aluminum cylinders that stretch the length of the boat placed on the bottom to keep it afloat. Which is what real barges use such as the barges that haul trash for Chicago etc. Made first in 1952 by a Minnesota man. Most do not come with sleeping accommodations unless people sleep on the floor or seating areas. There usually aren't bathrooms either... though many around have done modifications to their pontoon to provide one, these are usually day-usage boats. My Dad, who is the president of the Louisiana Power Squadron for the 4th year, has one. Some have two floors which adds to more flooring for sleeping I guess, it's mostly all wide open and ready for a party.




Now a HOUSEBOAT, or YACHT, at least what we use more here, my father has one of those as well. (Dude owns 5 boats) Awesome piece...3 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom,sunning platform, fishing platform, even a washer and dryer!...lovely! When we go with friends, we call it a YACHT PARTY or BOAT PARTY, which if one gets an invite, your expected to bring your own boats and food to share as people DO hop across. In Louisiana, all rules are thoroughly written. We party all night if we so choose, those wanting to sleep disconnect from the bunch and putter away for a private spot, all kids under 13 wear a preserver at all times, etc etc, no open containers of alcohol. People receive the maritime Handbook when you take your Louisiana boating course to receive your boating license. My Dad is the one in Louisiana who determines WHAT to require politicians to place on the boating license test each year. So we obey the rules for sure in my family! A lot of people around me either travel the country by motorhomes, OR buy a boat and join a boating club... can meet some real awesome people! But since we aren't near an ocean...we generally don't have sailboats anywhere around here, except the REALLY rich, who travel to the coast often, or play with it on the Red River which is dangerous due to the currents, or on a lake which they are plenty, but it is seldom windy enough up here so they are seldom seen. It's neat to hear what those in other places in the country call these type boats and get togethers! Like to see pictures of the boats used!

Your such a mind reader!!! I have my KitchenAid since I make cakes for people. DH just told me 2 weeks ago that he heard someone elses wife has one and he uses it to make his sausage! I think it may be what we do! I mean, I already own the most expensive contraption to get it done... so we just need to buy the extra parts. Think he priced em at like $40 for one thing and,,, i don't know. He was looking at it all. I cut up the roasts and nitpick the fat off the venison..he does the rest! His oldest son told us at Christmas he started making his own pasta to impress his new girlfriend... may have to ask him for some tips!
