| I have received several emails asking about the cost to deploy various objects. The numbers are coming together and it looks like we can sell space on the barge for $1.75 a cubic ft. So, if you have something you want deployed you can bring it down and we will take it out on the next trip. To obtain the cost just multiply the Length X Width X Height X 1.75. The resulting # is the cost of deployment 30 miles from Pensacola Pass. There is no real limit on size as long as we can get it within a space of about 23 L x 11 W X 10H. The weight limit per item is around 8,000 pounds, but may go as high as 10,000 pounds depending on the shape. I hope this helps.

Can't you buy one of those 10000# reefs from Reefmakers and have it deployed for 800-900 dollars?

Clay-Doh (12/27/2007)
Just ot make sure I got my math right.....a 10x10 reeef, if 10 foot high, $1,750?Yeah, that seems a little high. I think the price based on cubic ft might not be the best way. Maybe a calculation based on sq. ft. of barge space and weight would work better. I don't know what I'm talking about. I havn't had my coffee yet this morning.

| Your right. The pricing is a bit high for the larger items. I ran the numbers based on the dimensions for chicken coups and the typical structures I found laying around at the RFRA. We need to use cubic ft because the height of the items is limiting factor on how high we can stack the load. It may be that we need to reduce the price at some threshold size. For instance, reduce the price as you exceed a certain cu ft. I think the cu ft charge is a good rule of thumb for now but we can discuss pricing on the larger items. Again, the goal is to make it affordable enough for everyone to use. Thanks for your comments.

| Hey Rastaman...I wasnt trying to be confrontational, and if you noticed, I never said it was high, I was just verifying the price if it was a typo. Sorry man if I derailed your thread, that wasnt my intent. I guess for a smaller type reef that would probably work out right for a fair price and a fair profit margin after your expences. I am just not thinking of small reefs.....I joined the RFRA a month or so ago...and I got the ultimate diving reef platform in my head that fish will not be able to resist, but give me access with a spear!!!!

| no offense taken. I think the price scheme works with the smaller materials and needs to be adjusted for the larger items. As many already know, we are new at this and are doing it not so much for profit but to provide the resource. I welcome all input. The important thing is to make it affordable enough to get more people using it and building reefs. With gas prices like they are, the price of one or two chicken coups deployed is well worth it if it means you catch good fish each trip. Thanks for your input and let me know if you have any other thoughts. now, go build yourself that massive platform and lets dump it!!
