I am happy to report that the barge has arrived from PC and is currently at Pattis. We are going to pull it and check the bottom and such before we start. We have room to store materials at pattis before deployment but they must be approved materials accordign to Mr. Turpin. We do not want to take materials that later get rejected for dumping and find a new home at Pattis. go to pensacolareefbuilders.com to see our new site.I really hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity to rebuild some private reefs. You can email through the site or send me a pm regarding pricing on the permitting deployment of your items.

Todd,

I really believe it could be made easier and there would still be a lack of enthusiasm. It is amazing to me that people are not jumping in line to do this. All I have heard is bitching about not havinga vessel set up to take out reefs or handle large items. Now we have the vessel and we are offering it at almost cost just to help rebuild this fishery. I really dont know what else to do.

We are going to run this barge long enough to put out our own reefs and help out the RFRA. If the level of interest doesnt pick up by then we will sell it. get em while they're hot.

the crane is a blast to run. we are going tp pull it on monday and check the bottom and props and then install some safety cables. I think we will be ready to run our first load out in Jan. We are talking about basically leasing it out for folks to deploy their own reefs. Anything to keep it moving. I'll let you know when it goes back in the water. Talk to you soon.

All the people on this forum need to try to help rastaman get this business off the ground. Pensacola has not had a reef deployment vehicle and desperatly needs a way to get some good reefs out. Here in Alabama we would love to have a permit area like the west Laars area that you all have access to. We have to go further offshore to deploy and this makes it hard for the smaller boatman. To get it expanded we have to show the Corps of Engineers that this zone is being utilized. They are doing their part by deploying rubble from the I-10 bridge. Now its time for the private sector to help! Any of you that don't have any access to heavy reef material remember that I can deliver chicken coups to him for $70.00 a peice. Where are you going to get a ready made reef delivered to the reefmaker that weighs 750 lbs. for $70.00. Put 2 together and you have a 1500 lb. ready made reef for $140.00. Leave it alone for 9 months and you will be amazed at the volume of all species that are there! Everyone lets get together and get this rolling!!!

heres 2 cents, i hope the larrs expansion happens, would make it alot more usefull for me, i like to stay with in 12mile and it needs to be a decent day for that(have a small boat) I wish you the best of luck with you new buisness though i see many a large boats going out and i believe i read somewhere(forgive me if im wrong) you can put something out for someone around $450 all said and done. the way gas is and the cost of everything that would be a good investment for a "honey hole" for yourself. i heard something about the state wanting to raise the wieght requirments for a reef, which in turn would pretty much eleminate alot of people from being able to set something out with out a service like yours.

we can do two coups per site for 450. We buy the coups, obtain the permits and deploy them. All you do is pay and get the numbers. We can do much larger stuff and plan to deploy a 3000 gal tank this week.
