Boat Construction and Launch

The boat was constructed at its port at White River Landing and was launched on August 12, 1994. The boat was launched into Table Rock Lake on Launching Rails that were lubricated with 2 tons of Bananas at a speed of 14 knots. The bananas were used for lubrication, because it was a biodegradable material and wouldn't pollute Table Rock Lake like grease would have. The boat is claimed by its owner to be the America's Largest Ship on a Landlocked Lake. .
