I smell shenanagins. If they only sell 10 tickets what happens then?

so really £10200 for the winning ticket

But what would the fuel bill be per hour

 

[Bojangles]

Nightmare prize

Wasn't she for sale? I presume no interest then so not something readily moved on. Nice boat but I'd rather not pay 200 for a millstone round my neck. Shame really, but couldnt afford her full stop 200 or not.

It was only up for £750,000 i think but they hoping for 1 million through ticket sales ......

The rest goes towards the 10k charity donation and party

She was moored on a buoy in Plymouth a few years back, so quite where. the engines being started for the first time in 8 years comes from, I don't know!

Pigs will fly before they sell 5000 tickets @ £200 each!!!

Wasn't she brought back to the UK a couple of years ago? Been in Plymouth since then I think. The engine start after 8 years may have been in preparation for the trip back so an old post?

She was in Majorca where there was lot of work done to engines and fuel tanks after sitting on hard standing for a few years and was then brought back to Plymouth.

They were trying to charter her out / sell rides on it, but given the running costs and the fact that she is not the typical luxuary charter that always seemed optimistic.
