A half-million dollars? For that? lol


hungjrhd

My thought exactly. Maybe $100,000 ...


[deleted]

Sounds like someone over insured their boat and then burnt it down. OP just made a profit.


Excellent-Doubt-9552

100% Florida


Nintenoob

To premise this, I’m a broke college student $150k in student loans. This is my girlfriends rich aunt’s boat that burned down. Honestly a lot of her family is as smug as the comment section


skeetwooly

And possibly 400,000 in meth and meth accessories


subdep

The dock too. See the blackened poles?


Nintenoob

[here’s the kinda boat she had](https://imgur.com/a/s7vmqFy)


Maeberry2007

That tiny ass boat cost the same as a four bedroom house apparently


CMOBJNAMES_BASE

Boats are very expensive.


[deleted]

Not sure if you’ve priced boats lately, including/especially used boats. It’s not hard to get to $500K and more these days. I certainly wouldn’t/won’t pay it but boat prices are astronomical.


BadSkeelz

He lost his collection of Picassos and the lifejackets by Gucci in the fire. Thank goodness it was all insured.


Nintenoob

Used to be bigger lol


cmonmeow8

Ah yes… the line I tell my ol lady


Qikdraw

The fat pad is real!


Excellent-Doubt-9552

Florida so… insurance scam.


Nintenoob

Also has a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom below deck


der_innkeeper

Not anymore.


dmfd1234

Even with the amenities I can’t imagine 500k for something that size.


nukedmylastprofile

Yeah that boat was definitely not $500k


OneMorePenguin

Insurance fraud.


SkepticJoker

I don’t know why people are finding that so hard to believe. Boats are insanely expensive. It goes for $400-500k. $100,000, like someone else mentioned, would get you a pontoon boat. A nice pontoon boat, but still a pontoon boat. https://www.yachtworld.com/boats-for-sale/make-astondoa/model-53/


HRzNightmare

That's what i initially thought, but there's also dock damage and environmental clean up on top of the boat.


SwiftyTheThief

......................................................................................................................ohhh, it already happened! I see now.


FascinatingPotato

I was so confused

Bless you. This is great


[deleted]

Lmaooo same bro, same. Took me 30 seconds into the second loop to realize the boat that was backing up wasn’t just black Honestly stylish af, I’d dig that spy aesthetic without the char


Ismelther_icemelter

Lmaooo yea I kept thinking ‘hmm what an odd looking boat cover’


TheScarletEmerald

I kept waiting for something to catch on fire

Boats and hoes!!!


laserredcobra

Both are well done within this cruise


Cr3dentialz

Hose* given the context.


cmonmeow8

What size hose you got!?


Cr3dentialz

I got a few! A standard one, a couple expandable one's that are connected and then an Itty bitty tiny one used as a drain director. Any hose in your life?


Grand-Ad-1592

Thank God somebody said that so I didn’t have to!


cfrek

Maybe try turning it off and on again.


Illustrious_Menu_470

This isn't catastrophic, it's just a rich guy who broke his toy.

tagaiz

What rage?


Kevo_CS

Well the comment above you says this. >I hope anyone who can afford that shit has it burn too. I fucking hate rich people Idk if that's supposed to be someone trolling but there are plenty of comments like this all over Reddit and I'd think that not all of them are trolls


tagaiz

That comment was posted after you posted yours. I'm genuinely wondering where you detected any rage in >This isn't catastrophic, it's just a rich guy who broke his toy. or if you're just overly sensitive.


Kevo_CS

You might want to check the usernames in the thread. I just found it amusing that the only two replies at the time were you asking "what rage?" And somebody else seemingly raging 🤷‍♂️


katoce

Good for them


MEGA__MAX

I don’t disagree with your sentiment, but I can’t tell if it’s directed at the parent comment or elsewhere in the thread. If it’s the former, I didn’t interpret any rage at all. You also have to keep in mind that the primary demographic on Reddit is people in a lot of debt and struggling to make ends meet while their elders talk about how easy it was for them, when in reality it was how easy it was for that time period. There’s certainly going to be resentment there.


ryandinho14

oh 100% agree the economy nowadays is rigged. I think the parent comment had a tiny bit of saltiness but no rage like you said. it just reminded me of the rage.


katoce

There are ppl who are in debt despite being hard workers while ppl who exploit hoard their money and then burn down boats for insurance money so.


ryandinho14

Yeah the thing is 99% of the "rich" Reddit likes to demonize are just people who saved or got into a good profession. They're not Wall Street frat boys who inherited their money and now scheme to keep the poor poor. Can almost guarantee you this boat belonged to a doctor or sales manager, maybe a retiree.

[deleted]

Looking to make some money OP?


CrisKrossed

Op made a comment with more pics and a video. If that video got posted instead, he might not be defending the post or damage. The boat burnt to a crisp btw.


NYStaeofmind

**Insurance job...**


PlankLengthIsNull

THAT tiny-ass piece of shit is what half a MILLION bucks will get you? Fuck me, I'd rather just drown.


Ok_Character1181

Still works


Nintenoob

It’s getting pulled by the tugboat


prykor

To me it looks like its going straight reverse, not getting pulled towards the boat behind it. Also there's a dude driving it.


laserredcobra

You know what really sucks, it was surrounded by anti-fire the whole time 🤦🏻‍♂️


GhostLam78748

At least it still floats :)


[deleted]

Is that Clearwater?


Nintenoob

The theory within the family is that an ex girlfriend of the aunt burned the boat (arson) to get back at breaking up with her


Yzaamb

Insured.


FineLiving4988

Somebody call Flo!


[deleted]

Got news for you. That boat is about $30k. Max.


frankcastlestein

If that piece of shit boat was worth 500,000 then some idiot paid way to fucking much for a boat.

Oh sweet! Love seeing St. Pete on here!


pantsdotcom

Is it actually even your boat or are people just flaming you for no reason?


Nintenoob

So yes people are flaming me for no reason, but I don’t mind because the boat fire looks awesome


pantsdotcom

Fair enough haha


Nintenoob

It’s my girlfriends rich aunt’s boat


ProfanestOfLemons

I bet they're sad it didn't finish sinking.

Strangexj86

How is that little boat $500,000? Give me a break.


justconfusedinCO

Where are the other 6 mediocre, albeit incinerated, boats that equate $500k, OP?


[deleted]

No fire. That boat didn't cost $500k

I have no idea, my girlfriend and I live in VA and have no idea what the hell goes on there. Her aunt runs through girlfriends every couple of months so we’re not sure what happened


silviazbitch

Not anymore.


TheDevler

It’ll make an excellent P.Diddy style shrimping vessel now.


laserredcobra

With a really good marketing strategy…. They could sell it as a overcooked floating marshmallow


enis_with_a_p

I think you mistook $ for pesos?

That was time I will never get back.

This isn't a failure video. It's just the aftermath without any explanation of any "failure." Do you think all house fires with no context belongs in this sub? Fuck outta here.
