Hey Auguste, you could be the first in Canada to own your own carrier ! Lake Ontario is plenty big enough for it !

ok i get it i have seen this scam before..... the carrier is in let me guess lisbon.... and you have a great deal on shipping...but i would have to wire the money to your brother in law and tell the western union people you are family.... uh uhhhh. i'm not fallin for that again. ps do you take paypal?

Strange as it may seem, this carrier is actually for sale on the open market....it can be bought for appros $1.5M dollars and is currently docked in brazil. The ebay offer is a rip off, the French Creek Boat Sales does not list a price, but is purported to want $3M, however the owners will actually sell for $1.5M...of course as is where is.

That's 36,000 SHP, or Shaft Horsepower. She has two shafts, so 72,000 total SHP. Not that underpowered...

You may be right Brian . . . and you probably are . . . but it still will not fit through the St. Lawrence Seaway http://thehulltruth.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Do you think I could tow it with my F-250, or would I have to get a bigger truck. I don't think I can afford both. http://thehulltruth.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
