Yacht delivery fail.
« on: January 25, 2013, 01:18:11 PM »
65 foot custom-built motor yacht complete with 4 state rooms,
a state-of-the-art galley, GPS System and radar for navigation,
twin supercharged diesel engines, etc.

$7,474,793.00

***********************************************************

Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries with cream and
music dockside for the excited 'soon to be owner' and a small
group of his friends.

$1500.00




Two corporate representatives, crane, crew, and rigging $2,500.00 a hour minimum...

A faulty turnbuckle...   $25.00 



(Note the owner in the stern/back of the yacht)

Watching your 7 million dollar dreamboat nose dive into the
harbor, accompanied by two corporate
representatives from the company that built it just prior to
'inking' the final paperwork and handing over a 7 million dollar bankers check ...



PRICELESS!
So, how was your day?

Only if the boat in the photos was the dinghy being lowered over the side of his yacht.
