More absurd yet has to be puching a 95-footer at 27knots. I wonder how
many gallons per minute that has to consume?

Let's count - one, two, many, lots.

95-feet isn't a boat, it's a business.

Damn straight. Really, 95 feet? That's just plain ridiculous.

Then again, look at some of the homes people with that kind of
monetary horsepower build - 5000 sq ft for three.

I dont' get it.

I have a 3,800 footer for 2. That's because I am an empty nester though.
Bought the house new 15 years ago. Wasn't planning for the 2 kids to
grow up
that soon. When I retire, I'll move to a smaller house with an
outbuilding
for the woodshop that has taken over the basement.

But a 95' boat is really way out of the question. Who on earth would buy
such a thing?

Someone who couldn't afford a 100' boat?


Now you have me wondring. Does a 100' boat come with a full size basement
and a 2 boat garage?


Greg Norman's boat did - a 25 foot Aquasport CC and a 30 something
Hattaras I believe - on the boat.

Actually, these are the boats aboard his yacht (as noted at the website
http://www.ssqq.com/archive/vinlin24.htm ):
===========================================
To get the people out to those choice dive spots, or maybe just for having
a bit of a splash, the following additional "small" boats are kept onboard:

42-Foot Custom Built "Game Fisher" Can be launched and retrieved from the
deck. Perfect for a 4-person overnight fishing expedition. Has a gourmet
galley for cooking up the catch while it's still fresh.

30-Foot SeeVee for a quick afternoon fishing trip.

22-Foot Novurania Equator with a meager 800 horsepower so you can get to the
best diving sites ahead of everyone else. It has beach landing capability as
well.

(2) 18-Foot Hewes Bonerfishers for those special occasions when Greg and a
close friend may wish to maneuver over the sand flats in Key West, Florida

13-Foot Narwhal Rescue Boat in case someone falls off one of those other
boats.

And finally, just for the hell of it, (4) Yamaha Waverunners!!!
================================================== ==

WOW!
