Anybody make it to last Saturday night's Mount Washington halloween costume party cruise? It cost $49/person for a three hour cruise from 6-9pm, and included dinner and two different bands, or something on different levels of the ship. If memory is correct, last Saturday night was something like a rainy stormy night.

I was thinking about going but at $49., it was too rich for me. Anybody here onboard for that adult halloween party?

Ya know the current diesel engines are so smooth and so quiet and the Mount is so calm when moving, it will be impossible for new engines to be better. There's just no room for improvement there.

Instead of replacing the engines, why not install two masts with six square-rigged sails and turn the Mount into a sailboat with a diesel engine for no-wind conditions. They could probably find some old masts and sails off a 175 year old, junkyard US Navy frigate on craigslist down in the Portsmouth area for next to nothing......don't ya know!
