Oops!  Not enough of an angle to get it rolling into the water so it just went to the bottom. ;D

Asia makes many pocket yachts, and larger, and have for some time. My favorite are the Choey Lee's, and Hargrave's....There are two manufacturing facilities.

1) Is OK, skilled labor. Decent.
2) The other is slave labor, with warm bodies.

Guess which facility gets the most American Sales?

They could care less about ABYC, (American Boating & Yacht Commission) Standards. Or The NMMA, (National Marine Man. Assoc.) guidelines.

They insist they are "working on it",.....but between the fire investigations, and multi-page surveys, that point out safety, and fire risk assessments, I do, it is certainly job security.

I once pulled Korean newspaper used as "filler" out of the keel of a 78' Choey Lee when it ran aground.

But hey they look good, got lots of bells and whistles, but it's the nitty gritty, in the walls, between the decks, inside sub-panels, the way they ground things. No enclosures for high voltage connections...etc,...

But these River "genius's", looked like the inflatable boat ramp idea,....was uh,....a wee bit steep for the stern.

2.5 Mill. Yacht.  250 Bucks to launch it.....



me fixit, no pwablum.... ::)

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.
