(24.7-m) stern- wheeler, to its owner, Genesee County, Flint, Mich. The vessel is operated by Genesee County Parks and Recreation at the historical Crossroads Village on Mott Lake. Propulsion is by a Cummins 6BT5.9G2-M, driving the genera- tor and hydraulic pump. The 150- passenger vessel could not be de- livered via waterway, which re- quired the boat to be designed and built at SkipperLiner, in a manner making it possible to transport the vessel overland to the lake.
