Squid Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Another photo series on how not to launch a boat:: 65' Custom Built Motoryacht, staterooms, gps navigation, twin supercharged diesels, etc. = $ 2.5 million Crane and Rigging complete with faulty turnbuckle = $2,500 per hour Champagne and Strawberries, dockside, for the excited "soon to be owners" = $250.00 Watching your dreamboat nose dive into the harbor, accompanied by two corporate representatives just prior to "inking" the final paperwork........ Priceless..................................... Check out the dude on the stern, holding on for the ride of the day (second picture)
