I'm on her now, got orders to Galveston though. The area is actually pretty nice. We're pretty busy from middle March to late November, then we're iced in for the winter. Thats when we get her ready for the next season and practice plowing snow. Hope you enjoy cold weather and the white stuff. If you got anymore questions give us a call. Congrats on your orders!

Thanks for the info djayboats75. I'm leaving Galveston to come up there. Where are you going to in Galveston? I'll call later this week to get the scoop on the area. Is anyone going to be there and what would be the best # to call? Thanks, MK1 Walton

Welcome to the Western Rivers, it is a different world from the salt water Coast Guard. You getting a good boat and a good crew.

I'm heading to the Station. You can usually reach either MKC Pluemer or MKC Lambert(EPO) before 1400 each day @ 563-582-1965.

We also drive 18" steel piles with a Diesel pile driver. Its an interesting operation, could be a little dangerous but we just take our time. Its not the best platform for the operation but we make do. Just some more info for you. DJ
