Barge and Trailer Repairs:
Barge Repairs – Nat Hart said he would inspect the barge for cracks and damages and fill them with a combination of J.B. Weld and fiberglass cloth. After curing, later in the week, probably that Friday, Rich Munson said he could bring an air compressor to pressure test the pontoons. Any additional water would be pumped out using hand pumps before pressure testing.
Trailer Repairs – To be usable, the trailer needs a new jack stand, a new coupler, and tires as the old ones are dry rotted. Repairs are postponed for now. But it was noted that they could probably pick up new tires and rims from Tractor Supply. Trailer is currently located at Ben Hooks business yard.
