3.2 million yacht sinks in Lake Tahoe marina

5. $2000 per night or $8000 for 4 hours to rent.

On Monday, a big-screen TV, leather couches and floating slices of bread were visible inside the partially submerged watercraft, which was billed as the largest noncommercial boat on Lake Tahoe as recently as 2006.

A website detailing the three-room, three-bathroom Sierra Rose for potential renters says it's inspired by the streamlined luxury vessels of the 1930s, but with state-of-the-art amenities. Features include granite counters, remote-controlled fireplaces, mahogany floors, a spa and custom crystal and china.

The boat rented for $2,000 a night, according to a brochure from 2008-09, or $8,000 for four hours.

For those who think roughing it is giving the maid and butler the day off; or for really 'cool' graduation parties?

My favorite line comes at the end of the article; "Tahoe Keys Property Association front desk clerk Ron Parker said, according to the newspaper. 'My idea is it was so ugly someone had to sink it.'"

edit to add: I noted it was missing a car elevator. *snort*
