- ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -8/+33Aren't Descriptions That Have Every Word Capitalized Great?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23and you give me *****: http://digg.com/celebrity/Amy_Winehouse_is_in_REHAB
- rejoined, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"Snopes checked it out with 'Carver Yachts', maker of the boat, and declared the photos are real."
http://www.snopes.com/photos/boats/badlaunch.asp - SillyRabbits, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9From TFA, it's 1.2 million base, but about 2 million once it's outfitted with the typical additions (some people like to actually have NAV equipment, furniture, working faucets, and stuff like that on their boats).

- rejoined, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9lol pwned
- vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11That expensive drop all on one page, photos included:
http://www.madmariner.com/node/788/print - bergetun, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Is there a man sitting at the back of the boat while its dropped ?
- RedRummy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6who cares whether anyone diggs it!... jesus!... oh, and it's not extraneous
- JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Every Time I Use the Shift Key, I Get A Nickel.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7...Almost as fast as this website went 404.
- CatsAreGods, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7Try this link for better photos and droll humor:
http://www.cargolaw.com/2007nightmare_marquis.ride.html - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5i can has a picturez section already?
- Beaupedia, on 09/28/2008, -2/+3Dead already. 124 Diggs. Any alternatives?
- Specul8, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2This appears to simply be a botched lift. Anybody with a little marine experience can tell from the pics that the wind isn't blowing very hard and I sure can't understand how wave action (conspicuously absent in the photos BTW) could possibly effect it when it is 45 feet in the air.
- CatsAreGods, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Better put some ice on that.
- joshf52, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2GOB?
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3This is a textbook case of insurance
*looks a book*

- cintek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This is a very old pic set. - Buried as yesterdays news
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Doesn't look like it got any major damage...just a bit moist on the inside.
- madmariner, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1That's why the site hired a reporter to look into it and that's why the story was written - the pictures are almost too good to be true, but they check out under intense scrutiny.
- madmariner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0There are so many marine terms that make me laugh. That's just one of them.
- allgoonamesgone, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2the guy holding on in the back just made my day lol

- mal1964, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2that's the Captain.
- Sefus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Oh! Jeez. That picture makes me sad.
- alexanEmpire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Ya don't say?
- spawnfree, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2i wonder how much an extra strap to go underneath and hold the two slings together would have cost.
Seriously; a curved wet boat is supposed to grip onto a sling? what were they thinking? how long have they been doing this? - FaT32, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It's a motor yacht, so I don't care :)
