Would you pay 21 Million dollars for a Yacht that doesn't have a real photo?

Seems like a nice boat, has a bar and a jacuzzi even! However, it doesn't seem that they have a finished product.

The other way of looking at it is that for $21m you'd want something customized to your specs. They can't have a picture of that already.

Yes and no. I'd like to buy a sailboat but something like this is way way way outta the question. Even if I had 21 mill to burn, I'd probably shop around before committing to such a thing. For just a couple mill or less you can get a nice 78 foot yacht.http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...Ketch-96497749 We still haven't progressed out of the yacht manufacturer's that beging with the letter "A" and this is only one website, there's probably better deals to be found.

Really, I'd like to learn some usable trades for maritime life and try out the seafaring way. But I'd have to start out much smaller. Maybe a 40 foot craft or so.

Hey what, really? I don't quite have 1.1 mill either. I was thinking a bit less...... Ok a lot less. What's the absolute minimum he can take? Maybe I'll low ball him for 9k or so. heh heh heh.

Oh yeah, need photos or it isn't real!

You do seem quite the trusting sort, would it be ok if I sent you some mach up drawings of a time machine that I think I have a good design for? I've never ever built one, but trust me; I think it will be great. Send me 100 billion dollars please.

No but really, if they don't have some sort of product that they've built before, they just seem to be a total scam. Even if they are not scamming they way they present themselves leads one to wonder.

I would. That boat reminds me of the one from The Bourne Identity.
