      @@jasonredepenning One of the many problems with that yacht is the engines were not easily removable. You'd have to cut the superstructure to get them out. Also the hull was basically one big fuel storage tank. Practical for a speed boat but not for a leisure yacht.

    If i would have had the money I would have restored it and enjoyed it and take people out on the water so they could enjoy it to what a waste of a fabulous boat and money

      They could have put that boat in a museum for people to see. or restored it and used it to take people out to fish in the ocean, money could have been still coming in every year, their are so many things that could have been done with it, out of all the millionaires in the world no one wanted to save this boat, what a shame

    Some people rather sit and watch it rust and rot away in their yard,
    as to give it away 🖕
    All that money and still not one cent of self-awareness
