2000 hp 80 mph diesel yacht.

That ain't right!!!

If I were in the Coast Guard, I'd pull it over too. Probably let them go with just a warning, even if they were on plane running over Manatees, if I got an invite to a cruise later....:sifone:

Might be the last one for the owner. He is a big NY car dealer and that business is in the toilet now. Boat was built for speed but with a 30mm asking price I don't think too many others will want to buy it since it is a maintenance nightmare. Turbines on a mega yacht might be cool to talk about at the yacht club but in reality the owners usually just meet the boat at the destination rather than being pinched for time to get there faster.

Boat probably sucks in anything over 4-5 footers. Keep in mind it is full of furnishings that will break/ bounce around while your trying to air it out!

I've spoken with the owner a few times. The boat does not handle well enough to go as fast it can go. Sad to have power in reserve and not be able to use it. The boat will not even feel a 4-5' swell. Look at the size of the thing mass alone is on its side there. Eventhough everything on the boat was made out of light weight components, it is still massive. Even the Marble counter tops were venered to save weight.

It needs some trim tabs made to calm it down or a bottom rework.

Add a rocker or hook.....:sifone:

Did you design some?

If only they had let Reggie finish out the design the boat would have been a 53 footer:biggrinjester:

The best I watched the other night The Fastest Yacht in the World sitting at 145ft 28ft Beam 20,000HP Twin turbine, Twin diesel runs a top speed over 70MPH. That is moving for a 145ft boat! "Welcome to The World Is Not Enough"
