Title: Batfish Torpedoes
Post by: AVGWarhawk on March 20, 2008, 02:30:45 PM
Gents, I know we talked a few weeks ago on the torpedoes in WA. The cost obviously higher because of the 21 foot torpedo and enclosed van to move the what I thought both were 8 feet just will not work for loading and unloading.  Flat bed is the only way to get the torpedoes to you.  As I understand  the chocks need to be made for transport and of course some more funding. How are you coming along with this?  The time alloted is 6 months to move these?

Chris, send this in an email to Rick and the other gentleman who emailed you a week or two ago.  I don't think that Rick checks this forum very much and I am like Sgt. Schultz when it comes to this particular operation - I know nothing!

We had email conversation a week ago.  A few things need to be addressed concerning chocks and the actual costs to transport. I believe he said in two weeks he might have it all together.  We have no issue getting in a truck to get it to the Batfish. We can rock when you are ready.

Mark S. - your yellow tag line is hard to read on the new color scheme.

Just an FYI...or maybe it's just me.   ???

You just like messing with people, right?   ;D

I thought I was in the wrong place the first time I came back after your change...
