Oh, they finally got it to float. I thought it was still on the dry, more floats being welded on.

Lurvio: What is that avatar with the sunglasses? It reminds me of a little puppet from the late 1990's that was all over Europe. Mr Oizo.

It's a toy moose I got a long time ago, with my sunglasses. Ive been using it as an avatar for a long time. You'll get to see my face, when I get my boat ready.

Note to self: Update the build thread.

It's an 80 ft boat so it's not small, I'n not sure what the tonnage would be - about 75T? 40 people all on one side might heel it a bit but I shouldn't think it would flip. I'm not rushing to send in my reservation however . . .

My memory on the details is a bit faint, but the original boat was 50-something footer that was extented to 80 ft, I think it was from the middle. Then it was extented skywards at least by one deck level.

Why is this thread still not transferred to the 'jokes' section?
Honestly: the recent months have not really lead to practical results and (me included) we are actually just gossiping along.

She will capsize with more than 20 people on one side of the upper deck.
The owner managed to get a 175 person license for it. (there are lifevests for 70 on board)

Questions?

That was very funny: "...will continue to service to its guests of private, corporal, and..."
That is "Corporate"!!!!
In my mind I joked, "is the writer going to cite the whole military ranks from the bottom up?!

Now seriously, if what Apex1 says is correct, that is an accident waiting to happen. Oy vey!
