Hey feel sorry for the people who buy, build or sell “mega-yachts.” You know the 150 to 300 foot yachts with helipads and several smaller boats used as launches that cost more than most make in a year. There was an article in the NY Times today about how the mega-yacht business “sank” (snicker) from an annual rate of 300 boats in the mid-1990s to about 100 boats a year after the 2008 financial collapse. The story told about an the owner of a private investment firm trying to unload a 134-foot Lürssen built in 1995 and a 161-foot Trinity yacht launched in 2009.
I felt so sorry for these people that I regret ever thinking that they shouldn’t get income tax breaks.

bib, for my Gramps, it was throw ‘em in and see if they swim. Old German custom. And Gramps was, in fact, an old German.

They always manage to find enough water to float their boats. Too bad if you’re left high & dry.
