        Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.

        If it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid, and you're lucky.

          Right, each time I see this picture pop up, it's like the words barge and dredging don't exist. Like this thing is seen as some damn cast away raft or some shit. This is fine. It's just different.

          I'm familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.

            Cruises would be pretty interesting if once out at sea they released 30 wild boar.

            What about 50 of them? Or perhaps some number between those two numbers, inclusively?

              Apart from the terrible environmental effects, they're a blast. I'm not in for slides and shit, but the full experience is generally really enjoyable. If you like to travel, it's also a good way to trial destinations before committing to a long vacation somewhere.

                    One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

                      Depends, are the passengers permitted to bring assault-style rifles with high-capacity magazines?

                              That looks to me like a drawing by the design/architecture team, but there is a real boat like that and it's a pretty close match for the design. Here's a video with drone footage from the launch; 1:39 you can see a view kinda similar to the drawing.

                                Most of the weight is at the bottom and you have to have the center of mass go outside of the base to tip over.

                                      In the sense that something designed to carry 8,000lbs can probably actually handle 10,000lbs? Or in the sense that if they both died insurance would still pay out?

                                      The floats are EZDocks, each with a carrying capacity of 3,000lbs, total capacity is 12,000lbs.

                                      The lift is a JLG 3246es, which has a weight of less than 5,000lbs.
