[quote=“boardjnky4,post:19,topic:31668"”] theyre not just gonna send a 4million dollar boat to get crushed tho. that thing will most likely be sent back to the factory and be rebuilt. Chances are they will tear down the whole boat - Seperate the Hull, Clean it out, put that back together - rebuild all mechanical items(motors, steering, fuel tanks, etc…) - new interior - new electronics n other misc. items [/quote] word. Regardless of how its fitted out, thats at LEAST a $2M boat, pre-whoops. Once its cleaned up and re-fitted, it’ll sell for just as much, but for less then 1/2 the cost of a new commision. ---

[/quote] If all 3 pictures came from the same camera/photographer I’d have to agree. So the color is all washed out/crappy looking on the two photos where you have all the time in the world to setup the shot, but on the one split second high speed impact shot, the colors are amazing?

No lakes other then the great lakes are really big enough for a boat that size edit: WOW, according to that wesbite, it did slip out of the front sling. that really blows ---

I dont think anyone would be allowed to be on the boat when they were putting it in the water. I think that is bs that theres a dude just hanging out on the back of the boat when its 30ft or more in the air. ---

Look at the first and 3rd pic. The chrome on the front is not in both. Also the underside there are inlets on both side of the boat in the first pic but not in the 3rd. I call BS.
