Boat sinking not found; this video just appears to be some monologue by a gay super-villain. I'm not unmuting it to risk listening to him blabber as he strokes his ugly-ass animal.

This, why was that video interlaced with a goofy looking dude stroking a dog? (Watched it w/o sound)

Those of you commenting on her high freeboard, there is a tremendous amount of weight below the waterline. Naval architects do these designs and a lot of engineering goes into a hull's roll characteristics. That's not to say mistakes can't be made, but this isn't a new design, and her tall appearance shouldn't fool you. To my eye it appeared as if the ramp collapsed on the one side, or they ran off it, before she was afloat, tossing her onto her beam ends. Most hulls would self-recover from that but she wasn't fully afloat, so she lay there and flooded.

Just a guess but that's what it looks like.

i'm not going to lie, i only vaguely understand what you said here, but i am now a little turned on...

The boat is fine. They show it motorboating multiple times....

@Markbnj, I'm impressed with your knowledge, but I'd be more impressed if you googled and wikied all that information and actually knew nothing about boats before you made that post.

Am I poor? You had the beat up M3, I had the low mileage one



Just my cell phone bill is $400 a month. 6 iPhones and 18GB data.



Go suck a dick.


Awww... that is heart warming that you think spending money on a phone plan equals wealth. How much is your cable bill? I'm ready to be impressed!

Even funnier is that you like to reference a car that you could not afford to keep when attempting to back up your "you so poor" comments.

On a side note...is one if those 6 iPhones for the thirteen cats you have or have you adopted another family?

Nice to see you base your self worth on your cars and iphones, and your worldview on what a couple of people trolling an internet forum say.

If this is honestly who you are, you must be one of the most pathetic human beings to ever walk this planet.

Not my self worth, bro.

I am hardly poor.

I got attacked by some asshat and replied.

Go suck a dick yourself.

Well they don't usually take the same precautions with these mid to low range vessels as they would with the higher end ones.

Did it really sink? Looks like it just tipped over.

According to the video, this ship was made from plywood and dry wall, so no wonder it isn't very sturdy.

That's what I pretty much figured after watching the video and then seeing stills of the trucks they used to launch it with. One was already collapsing before the hull hit the water and it probably let it roll right off it, into unfortunately not deep enough water to float the hull, so it capsized.

Not as bad as Greece or whatever building billion dollar submarines so heavy that they lack the buoyancy to reemerge.
