What a $65million dollar boat that cannot do shit looks like....

So the Jones Act is making this boat sit and slowly get finished...

"Generally, the Jones Act prohibits any foreign built or foreign flagged vessel from engaging in coastwise trade within the United States. A number of other statutes affect coastwise trade and should be consulted along with the Jones Act. These include the Passenger Services Act, 46 USC section 289 which restricts coastwise transportation of passengers and 46 USC section 12108 restricts the use of foreign vessel to commercially catch or transport fish in U.S. waters."

So just because it was built in the US, does not mean that it can fish here. Because more than a certain % of this boat was build or prefabbed in Norway, now it just sits and gets updated all the time, to keep shit current. But here are the sweet pictures from inside. I built alot of the electronics that are inside, but I cannot show you those...Hush Hush

Here she is in dock

Where all the frozen fishes will go once they are taken, cleaned and packaged for storing before going to your local freezing section.

You cannot tell, but that is a 2 story engine YO

And Lastly, Where the 2nd in command sits. This is not done yet, maybe when it is I will post up more on that....and maybe the bridge when nobody is looking..

So unless Congress lets this ship go fishing in the US waters, it will be sold to someone company in Norway for like $10million and they will get a state of the art fishing badass things.....or it will not. Either way $65,000,000.00 USD is TOO MUCH DAMN MONEY for a paperweight...
