History channel did a story on the presidential yacht Sequoia after Carter decided to sell it, it fell to a few different private owners.

Mid 80's a trust formed out of DC bought it and did a cross country tour to raise funds to have her refitted.

The yacht was sent to a yard in Va with an estimate of about 1.3 million to do the work.

Well guess what, the price rose to over 3 million and the trust defaulted cause it couldn't raise the additional funds and the yard became the new owner.

Lets see, a yard over charged from its original estimate.
Never heard that before, have you?
