spanner Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 after reading the lastest issue of trade a boat.. a sunseeker 72 was $6.1 million fully euipped with the big twin turbo diesels!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbielites Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Pete, I beleive the boat was getting loaded onto a ship in England (They are made in Dorset) To be delivered to a distributor in the U.S to go into there sales stock. It fell 100ft after a wind gust made the crane "malfunction" apperantley. All hear say of course but the pictures are real. I reckon the anxiety was pretty real around the yard that day though..
