Has anyone seen this disaster?

Maybe they should wait for the ice and then push the boat out onto the river. That way it wont roll over and sink. The only time that that boat will be safe for passenger use will be when the river is frozen solid.

Swear to God, I am praying these guys get this thing in the water this year, the suspense would kill me over the winter.

The Word monstrosity comes into mind here.

 

[KSims1868]

Yep - I'm following this one also.
Seems that for people that have some obvious talents in construction (as mis-used as it obviously is here)...I would think they would have the intelligence to know when to say when.

Also...for $2 mil I could find one heck of a better boat than that pile of junk. What a waste of time, money, and resources.
Could I personally do a better job building a boat...HELL no.
Could I have done a better job with $2 mil to play with...ABSOLUTELY!! Just wouldn't have been ME doing it!!

Gotta know your limitations people. KNOW your limitations.
