That's what throws me for a loop... Even if I had a couple million to blow on boats I don't see how it makes sense.... We know the got his money somehow and I'm sure he has his act together but it doesn't add up in my opinion.

I'll ask around....:bigbird:.

Did you miss Tank's post? He seemed very well informed.

Purpose built to owners specs. 18k lbs at 120 through 6 foot seas isn't anything to scoff at. Those that have actually run this boat don't have anything negative to say about it. Those that work for or own other companies do...Go figure.

Oh I'm sure theres lots more to the story. But the fact remains, the people that know the boat and that ran the boat say theres nothing wrong with it. I'll believe un-biased opinions over those that have an agenda.

I'm not aquantances with Tank nor am I familiar with his industry experience so I'll just speak to people who work there or are working on the rig.... Don't take this the wrong way or as an insult, it's not intended to be.

One thing I can assure you; Whatever I find I will not post here in fear of being accused of having an agenda....

Have fun folks, all the best. :bigbird:
