Exciting Milestone – Three New T-BART
Boats Acquired!
We are thrilled to announce that as of March 17, 2025, we have officially signed contracts for the acquisition of three brand-new Carolina Skiff LS 23 boats, each powered by Yamaha 175 HP four-stroke engines!
These 23-foot vessels will be equipped with custom-designed tow bars and light bars, further enhancing their functionality to support our mission. Our current MOB (Man Overboard) devices and Lowrance units will be relocated to these new boats, ensuring continuity in our operations and safety measures. We will also be moving the Optimus system and getting new radios, further improving our operational efficiency and communication capabilities.
Production will begin shortly. We anticipate having one boat ready in time for Bratfest, with the remaining boats arriving early to mid-summer. This exciting timeline means we’ll soon be able to put these new additions to work supporting the Tellico Lake boating community!
Adding to the significance of this milestone, the boats feature a sleek silver exterior—perfectly aligning with our 25th Silver Anniversary in 2025! This is a proud moment for our organization and a testament to our ongoing growth and commitment to serving others.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who played a role in making this possible. Stay tuned for further updates as we prepare to integrate these boats into our fleet.
Let’s celebrate this incredible achievement together!
