Default Forbes Yacht- Highlander refit

I read an article in Yachts magazine about the refit of the Highlander motoryacht originally owned by Malcolm Forbes. Boat was built in 1986, partied around the world but after his death the family was somewhat stuck with the aging yacht. It was 151 ft long and sold for less than 6mm after languishing on the market for years. It once had a Bell helicopter onboard as well as a 20 Cig and 22 Donzi. In the refit they mentioned the "eye candy tenders" but didn't post any pics of the refit on the tenders (black, red interiors with red boot stripe was all that was mentioned).

Here was a shot of the two tenders when Forbes owned them. Sad to see the World Trade Center in the background......still can't believe those buildings were destroyed and 3000 people died!
