Built new in 2011. This is a 28' custom built aluminum barge catamaran - made by BMF out of Clarkston, WA. Boat was built for pile driving and testing. Barge has a swing-down tower with full hydraulic reach to 18'. Includes 4 spuds on each corner of the barge, hydraulic winch and many extras including capstan and access hatches. Barge bottom also has UHMW on it which makes pushing over debris and obstacles easy. Back has adjustable push knees. Very heavy duty trailer from TUFF trailers can be includes for $6500 - this barge is 10' wide and 13' tall so is easily towed with a oversize load sign. 

Hydraulics are provided by a Kohler 25hp power pack with a 20 GPM pump, manual and electric controls for all functions.  Includes a 70 gallon gas tank and a 50 gallon hydraulic tank. We invested well over twice asking price for this, but we are a research company and don't really need the power this thing has!

Barge is not self powered and is designed to be pushed.  It would be an easy change to mount an outboard or two to this barge if you want to self power - has adapters on back for outboards.  We can add a 75HP Mercury 2008 motor on center mount with steering console very easily for $7800 if needed.

FYI: It was used for sediment core sampling and for shallow water pile driving.
