Date: 2007-03-12, 12:04AM CDTI’m a member of the Mississippi River’s Miss Rockaway Armada. You might have met us when we came to Minneapolis, Red Wing, Winona, LaCrosse, Prairie Du Chien, Dubuque, Clinton and all the cities along the river before Andalusia, Ill. last year. We’re a huge raft made of all kinds of scrap materials, including 2 diesel engines from Volkswagen rabbits, converted to run biodiesel with longtail props attached. It’s a kind of arts troupe. We come to town and do a show and hold workshops during the day and do face painting for kids and play music. This year we’re interested in building a few satellite rafts and being more of an armada. I’d like to find or buy a cheap 16′-22′ (approx) boat with a working motor and then convert it to run on bike power by building a bike power apparatus to drop into the water over the transom and then and likely building out some pontoons behind the transom to even the weight and attach the motor to.I wonder if you might have an inexpensive boat with a working motor that might sound good for this project. We have very little money but a lot of heart and if you have a boat in your midst that might sound like a good base for this kooky idea we’d be grateful.Check out our website to see pictures: http://www.missrockaway.org, more pictures here: http://www.everydayilive.com/armada
