Yes but scrap is HIGH! $14 a hundred for short iron! Which sadly, is what will likely happen to this Yacht :cry:

luckily the owner is involved enough to not want scappers or hysterical societies purchase her. He wants someone who will bring her back to (near?) her former glory... Maybe he should give Jay Leno a call...

I know it's a bit late (okay really late) in the game, but is the boat still available for sale?
