Snow Hill’s new riverboat could be docked in town by Valentine’s Day.
The Black-Eyed Susan, purchased by Snow Hill last month with a loan from Worcester County, is currently in Salisbury undergoing repairs. Town Manager Gary Weber said that while he hopes work will be done in time to offer a Valentine’s Day cruise, it should definitely be done by March.
“The boat is going to be perfect when it comes up the Pocomoke River,” he said.
Weber said the boat arrived at Murtech Marine in Salisbury after a three-day trip from Havre de Grace. While mostly uneventful, the boat did hold up the Route 50 bridge in Salisbury for 15 minutes.
“It had to come at an angle,” Weber said. “It did get hung up but somebody with the bridge threw them a line and straightened it and they got through.”
At Murtech, Weber said all the repairs noted in the survey reviewed prior to the boat’s purchase were being performed. Though those repairs were initially expected to cost a significant amount, he said the current estimate was about $68,000.
All I can say is you’re a damn fool to sit back and let the free loading left lunatics ruin your life’s work
Optimism was prevalent for that fire boat too.

I can’t believe the County Commissioners were daft enough to fall for this thing. The whole deal is just a way for Tom Perlozzo to bail out his latest girlfriend.
What a joke. Has been tried twice before and failed both times. There is nothing for visitors to do once they get here. Just another waste of taxpayers money
Hold on while I get my popcorn….
