AhFarangJa Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 What you see is only the flying bridge, so looking at that in the water the vessel could easily be 73 foot plus.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Scuttled is more like it. Some plug must have been pulled. This is going to be quite a bit of work and a lot of balloons to refloat a boat this size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They resurrected it the last time it sunk nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, quoting about something you know zero about can make you out to be a big fool on the internet. ? Have you seen the actual photo of the boat?
