Found this on another site. My wife watches all those Alaskan shows and I often wonder about some of the boating.

Barge Powered By 35 hp Outboard

Mike Kerry, Anchorage, Alaska: "We have a place on a 160-acre island near Anchorage, Alaska. I wanted to take my Deere 790 loader tractor out there so I made a small barge powered by a 35 hp. outboard. The barge rides very low in the water so we make quite a sight during the 3-mile trip out to the lake. As the photo shows, it looks almost like the tractor is on top of the water."
