WOW.

I was as surprised as most to see this boat actually in the water.

As a show boat - fun.

As an actual vessel - yikes!

Oops!

When the starboard engine fell off it must have killed the lower unit on the engine next to it. THat sux.

This my friends is how not to build boats..

I suspect the hull construction was just fine. The problem was more likely a dumb-assed owner that tried to add engines where they didn't belong ...

What happens if the owner who decided to put too many motors on the boat is the owner of the company and its his personal toy... does it than become a hull construction problem?

What is holding the engine on? Just the cables?

I wonder how much over powered that boat is. I think it was a stupid move by someone.

One last bolt and the tie bar.

What a POS and a waste of a boat, not to mention the top might be the ugliest and cheapeast thing I've ever seen. I will never ever buy a Midnight and this confirms my ambitions.

[M.E.K.]

It certainly doesn't look like a broken bolt caused that.
