Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.

DEFINITELY, an LLP!!! Probably would have to raise twice the amount for re-furb & start up costs
I'm in for $100

At $100 per investor to buy & refurb, that's 7,000 "partners" who would have to agree on where to go, what to do, how to refurbish. Gads, you'd never get a consensus decision on ANYTHING!!!! 
OK, I'm in!

Tammy, I'm glad you're 'in'.
One thing for sure, I shouldn't be the bean counter!!!
We only need 6,996 more partners. Something tells me we'll need more than the entire membership of SingleDivers.com.

I'm in too. What a great idea Bill! I can quit my job, sell my house, and live and work full time on the boat.

Three more on board, only 6,993 to go!!!
Now we're going to have problems over which partners are going to be crew members... Are you sure you want to be part of the crew??? When would you dive??? I don't think WW would like to be stuck barefoot, in the galley, while others were diving.

Well -
Although it does entice you to join the throng of investor-owners, keep in mind this is a 38+ year old boat with vintage 1970's sized and arranged cabins and common areas. In my best Curmudgeon style I can offer my summary:
A VERY LARGE ALUMINUM HOLE IN THE WATER INTO WHICH
WE ALL WILL THROW MONEY FOR YEARS TO COME!!!
I'm Just Sayin'

OK, Jim has opted out in style!
The boat doesn't have to last forever, just long enough for all 7,000 SD.com investors to get a trip on her. That would be a fine return on a small investment for each of us!
