You could land airplanes on that thing!

Yeah, but where is the shop on that thing????

They say, the two happiest days of a boat owner’s life are, the day they got their boat, and the day they got rid of their boat.

Hi guy’s,

Tim’s right about the two happiest days of boat ownership.

Imagine fueling that thing up.

I didn’t even see any fishing rods. Poor fellow probably can’t afford them. There expensive you know.

I think I just contributed to a couple of litres of fuel for that great boat….

Some beautiful woodwork in it, I wonder where it was built?

Lee, I think Ron could buy a few rods…goodness knows I buy enough of his coffee and doughnuts to support my habit and his fishing activities :-)

I had a buddy who owned a sailboat, he alluded to the same two happy days? What is it about boat ownership that causes owners to feel that way?

We used to own a boat. It was a hole on the lake that we threw money into. We were happy to see it go, and this was before high gas prices.

That’s not a boat, it’s a ship …......

i used to build the interiors on “boats ” like that . im compelled to tell an embarassing and humorus story about it. i went to apply for the job the interviewer ask if i had carpentry exp. well i puffed right up and promply stated that i was fully exp. in any type carpentry . his response was to laugh out loud ! then he said can you start at 7 am on mon. i did . by 8 am i was fully aware why he laughed ! i also knew what a jackazz i must have sounded like ! i will never make that statement again . building furnature and interiors in these vessels is quite unlike any other woodworking youll ever do . a 160 ft yacht at this co. would take 6-7 yrs. to build . probably start off at about 12 mil. and with very few change orders and upgrades it will double .
building them is a very amazing and interesting process . we hired a young guy who was so impressed he said if i ever hit the lottery im buying one of these ! i said son you better have one heck of a back yard or plan to win the lottery once a month . they hold about 30,000 gal. of fuel not to mention a capt and crew ! lol nice post bob brought me back to some great memories ! thx

He has a private golf course that he flies his friends in to as well. A lot of cash in coffee, I guess. Frankly, the stuff tastes awful, but people line up for it. shrug

I got this “thing” for yachts. Have always wanted to refurbish one of those old ones. Maybe someday when we’re converting lake water to hydrogen I’ll do that! But at today’s gas prices…no way.
