Well guys got enough money to buy an island (like Sir Richard Branson) or live in his watervillage or buy a powerboat company to make only tenderboats to himself if he wants to.
He´s determined to get the boat out of there and he´ll do it plus rebuild it for as much as the whole boat is worth.
It´s good to be Rich.

Where is the boat located in relation to Key West? I'm thinking there might be a current image on Google Earth that you could view from satellite.

Don't have the resolution close enough in that area so I'm out of luck on that idea.

Still, a shame to see that thing stranded like that.
