I salvage this large (5 foot - 152cm) barge from the trash heap from a model boat club (BAEB) that closed. It was used for competition towing contests. From the deck up I completely re-renovated it to represent a coal barge. The "coal" is the "oil dry" granules cemented on a panel of carved foam on a plywood thin plywood base and painted flat black. It is removable so weight (bricks, water bottles, etc.) can be added inside the hull. Total weight is well over 100 pounds -(45kg). The sturdy hull and deck is heavy plywood that has been fiber glassed.

Alligators: top of the head is usually slightly above the water. I have never seen one bother the model boats.

Pushing and towing the barge: Many might be surprised on how little "horsepower" it takes to move a heavy object in the water (just like the big guys). Only deterrent is the wind.
