Hello, Karen
Glad to see you're alive and well. There has been so much Krause bashing here of late, and not a word from you, I thought you might have drowned or something. For the humor impaired, "Workin' Man's Yacht" titling this thread should give you a clear idea that I'm being sarcastic. Surely you can appreciate sarcasm, right? But goodie, goodie. I've been saving up a number of boat reviews until somebody who really enjoys reading them showed up- and here you are. Now that you're back, I'll post several between now and Monday. Enjoy. :-) |

verge of another breakdown. Chill. ******************* Some reason you feel compelled to follow me around the group, into every thread, and make personal remarks? Whatever it is, I'd probably prefer not to know about it. Try to think of something a bit more adult and productive to occupy your time. Thanks. |

Buy one, get one free?
********** You'd have to think. You commonly see boats in this category with 36-foot, twin diesel *tenders*! The average boater would be happy with the tender. I think the whole concept of a $5mm yacht is pretty absurd- but then again it would take a net worth of probably $25-30mm to begin to justify tieing that kind of money up in a boat and that will always be absurd to me, in this lifetime anyway. (I'll admit that if I could afford a $5mm boat, and I can't begin to, I would probably have a different perspective and find it a reasonable proposition). More absurd yet has to be puching a 95-footer at 27knots. I wonder how many gallons per minute that has to consume? 95-feet isn't a boat, it's a business. |

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. Later, Tom Kind of fun to go fast in a big boat. Took the Fast Ferry boat from Barcelona to Majorca in 2001. 97 meters not feet and did 47 knots. And the boat carries 300 cars and a few semi's amd 800 passengers at that speed. .. . in comfort. Had to slow to about 40 returning as there were some 10' seas about. Jetdrive and 38,000 HP! |
