I could see immediately that thing was catastrophically top heavy. What jackass designed this artificial reef?

Architect must have skipped school on ballast day.

How do you know it didnt have a lead keel? Looks are incredibly deceiving with boats. I know of many boats with lead/sandbags/etc stacked in their bilge.
Boats always have stability issues at launch. They are usually nowhere near complete, have very little or no ballast, and settle far higher than normal loaded waterline. A freshly launched ship is very often a highly unstable bitch.

This reminds me of that dud military ship Kim Jong Un launched a few months back.
I bet heads are still rolling over that fiasco...literally.

What I know about boats and $2 might get you a cup of coffee. All I know is that thing did exactly what it looked like it would do.

I'm not an OT Baller but a $1M does not seem a lot of money for a luxury yacht. Sounds like you get what you paid for.
Thats more like the price for a fishing boat.

Well, maybe they'll spend a little more and have a better second Maiden voyage. Or just start all over

If you've ever seen ships on dry dock, lots of them look top heavy. In reality all that super structure is mostly air, and the machinery is all below the water line.

You can look at that boat and see that it’s woefully top heavy, minus tons of ballast at the bottom. The design engineers (assuming they exist) are idiots. And the builders as well.
