cjgalle30 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 heres some pix of some of the boats i run day to day these are up wards of 10,500 hp and hold over 120,000 gal of diesel fuel. They push over 1/4 mile long of barges up and down the Mississippi river. Its a whole different kind of rush even though they only travel at speeds of 12 mph. but its all low end. sorry if i messed up when i added the pix its my first time uploading on this site my apologies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
