Thats the gas turbine sitting right there in front of the twin MTUs 30 million torn apart in two days and I was standing in the engine room a month ago floating on the water. SO SAD !!!!!!!!!!!

Norman offered it to me just to get it out of there, The major problem was where to put it and the cost of the restore. It was in bad shape it hadn't run in over ten years according to the yard manager. both water jets tunnels had been repaired and not the right way. All the body work on the sides and deck was coming off. The complete interior had to be removed and a complete new interior would have to be built . The birds had gotten inside at some point and trashed it the deck hatches had been leaking for years it was very sad to see as I was on the boat in San Diego back in 1994 at the kilo's. Just a rough number was somewhere around 5 million to start and as we all know that number would have gotten much larger after we started. Very Sad Day for me ! Regards Dan

This article came out in the local paper yesterday. I thought it was one of the better articles. Writer got ahold of Norm Gentry and really dove into the story instead of just the typical surface crap most of the articles on it are.
Sad to hear that a buyer was trying to get things together to save the boat and only needed a little more time but the harbor was like, NOPE!

"This is what happens when boats exceed their lifespan." No. This is what happens when you knowingly neglect and leave an old boat sit.
