By the way, the first two hulls are already spoken for but there's stil
time to get first deposit in on hull #3. Baseprice is $4,672,500, so
everybody will want one.

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.

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

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.

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!

But Majorca is warm and the waters are warm.

===========================================

Go to Ft Lauderdale and take a ride down the Inter Coastal. Boats of
that size are dime a dozen, and 5000 sq ft doesn't even make a proper
guest cottage.

We visited my wife's bestest bud and I kid you not - we stayed in
their guest house which was practically a duplicate of the house we
live in. :)
