We’re looking for someone willing to tow three art boats from the southern tip of Roosevelt Island in Queens about ten miles up the East River toward Long Island this coming Monday October 20. We can’t afford Sea Tow, but are willing to pay for your time and gas. You don’t need a tug, just a recreational powerboat with at least a 75hp engine. Can you help?

The boats’ dimensions are as follows: Alice 23′ x 22′ | Maria 28′ x 12′ | Althea 46′ x 8′| The boats were designed by artist SWOON and journeyed from Troy, NY around the Battery and up the East River this summer. You can read about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/18/arts/design/18flot.html |
