Shibadog Turbocharged June 22, 2022 Share June 22, 2022 regarding a car ferry service, these would work for shallow water berths but probably not pass MPA requirements for seaworthiness 😅 i took this red one in Nan, Thailand. It's to cross a man-made reservoir. Very calm waters. this blue one is in Songkhla. I wanted to take it for fun (cross a lake) but the queue was too long. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
