Your Dream Boat-- Money no Object

[ar15meister]

Someone posted this on the other forum and I thought it was a cool idea and could make for some interesting reading.



You are given 1000000million. What boat(s) do you buy? Lets say a maximum of 3 boats so us dreamers dont get too excited.

Power?

Paint?

Other details?

Why on all details???

 

[Airpacker]

Easy

46 skater with turbines because its cool

50 northech v with turbines because its cool

63 Magnum with turbines because its big and cool

150 Broward because its really big and cool.

Can I spend 2/3rds of the hundred mil on maintenance and expenses? Otherwise, I'm buying Top Gun with Merc 525's.

 

[ar15meister]

I will start.

Before I built the boats I would comission an architect to build me the biggest boathouse Northern Ontario has ever seen complete with a full shop, lifts, disco, launch ramp, couch for sleeping/passing out, industrial beer fridge, cages for my many wives, etc. It would also have a living area on top where I would reside with my favourite wife and have a fireman pole that I could take right into the boathouse every morning to get in a boat or onto a snowmobile or whatever. Ok boats......

I would first go to Skater and have them build me an all black 46 foot canopy boat. I would then fly to Chief Engines and have them build me the baddest motors possible, 3 sets of them. I would run #6 drives and have 3 sets as well. I would use this boat for poker runs and scaring people.

Then I would buy a 41 Apache. I would paint it like the old banner boat or exactly like Warpath and put another set of Chief motors in it. #6 drives. 6 pack cockpit. Rock and Roll. I would use this boat for poker runs and fishing.

Lastly I would take my Pantera to the factory, have the guys redo it completely and drop in a 1200hp blower motor mated to a #6 drive. I would take this to get groceries at the cottage.

what a homo...

 

[Expensive Date]

38 lightning with 700s and #6
43 nortech v with same power
41 Apache

 

[phragle]

OL 52, twin turbines and surface drives so it's not getting fixed every weekend, loaded with a nortech style bar in the cockpit, complete with push button pop-out steps on the side of the hull, so drunk people swimming can climb up and over the side, not climb around sharp props.

twin turbine mystic for going fast.

and a big azimut for a mother ship.

 

[stecz20]

39 cig #6s and 1000 perside will dook for me....

32 doug wright, 36s and 850s will do ok as well....

 

[Sunsation96]

51' Mystic all the way:26::drool5:Turbine power all white with a pin stripe I don't want to make it look small:rofl:

38' Sunsation when they make it with some sick staggered power!

 

[cosmic12]

Find a as close to perfect mid 90s Top Gun take it to Outerlimits splash a one time mold (after blue printing and perfecting the bottom) and pull a new hull with all of the new tch and materials throw in a pair of 1075s 6drv's very little grafics all white cockpit and cabin and be very happy the rest of my days. Remember this is all done with stupid money. And I don't need no stepps.

 

[Perlmudder]

First, I would buy a 44 MTI canopied (I like the look of the hump on the back), and have it done with a simple classy paint job. It would have turbines and BPM drives. It would be my poker run boat.

Second, Formula 400SS with 700 NXTs. This would be the party barge. Nothing super fancy, but good to have around for chillin!

Third, I would buy an older picklefork and have it done up in an Indian Larry / Rat Fink type paint job. Just old school with big power and either a V drive or a jet.

Fourth, 30 foot cig mystic with 600s and Bravo XR ITS. Nothing to crazy, the boat that you can run forever and it wont give you a headache!

Fifth and final, a Supra Launch with the worlds package for chilling out and wakeboarding.

I think I covered everything!

 

[Tristar Racing]

Id have Pepe and Jo build a 41' Pantera out of those molds that have just been sitting dormant for years, I dont think a boat has ever been completed from them...

The new 28' they have is pretty nice too.

 

[Tony]

41 Apache
50 Carey
37 Midnight Cabin

 

[Slandrew]

38' Fountain staggered 850's

 

[Magic Medicine]

Sunsation f4 Richie Zul 1200 6's
41' Apache completely restored 6 pac Zul 1200's 6's
65' Ocean or Viking sport fish big diesels

 

[Chris]

what a homo...

Just been around long enough to know that the purchase price is the tip of the iceberg. You think our boats are expensive? Wait until you start paying dockage, maintenance and captain/crew salaries on a big boat.

 

[Tom A.]

Cigarette 44 Poker Run with Ron Potter 1200's and #6's
Restored Cigarette or Apache race boat
38ish' center console
Sunseeker/Magnum 60ish' fast cruiser
20' Cigarette or 22' Donzi Classic.

Sorry it is 5 but I am having trouble following rules these days!

Assuming that with that money I can retire, move to south Florida, and afford maintenance, tow vehicles, etc

1) 44 MTI with 1075 Mercs - poker runs thrill rides
2) Big Midnight Express or Deep Impact Center Console with Quad 350 Verados - playing around, island and bar hopping
3) Some kind of big sport cruiser, maybe a Baia or Sunseeker - use for the long cruises, traveling in style

If you scratch the unlimited funds and someone is just going to give me boats to use where I live now and I have to maintain them myself....

1) 38 Top Gun with 525s - poker runs and having fun
2) Low 30' range center console with a pair of 300 or 350 Verados - maintenance free toy to bring to the beach, fish, or whatever
3) Southbay Party Barge with a 300 Verado - Night rides, haul crowds up and down the river, hit the bars, etc.
