My post of the day.........the Powerball is 317 million tonight, what kind of boat would you buy. :jumping-smiley-019:



Wow, thanks for reminding me about the 317mill, I need to go buy a ticket this morning Joey!

Ummmm, well with that much money I might want two boats.;)

I'd first fly right to Douglas, MI and order my Skater 368 or 388 w/Merc. 1100 turbos/M8s. I'm not sure if I'd go with a wild paint scheme or just go all white w/white interior w/black pinstripes. I really like the Lugo trailers..:thumbup:

I would also buy a smaller, Eliminator 27 Speedster w/ a single Merc. 700pkg. Just a smaller mid-sized cat for a cruise around on the lake, without the extreme cleanup and maintenance of the larger Skater. My gelcoat design would be similar to the larger boat, either wild and extreme or just all white... I'd either go with a lugo or extreme trailer.:thumbup:

Two words "Lady Lisa".................WOW

You should see her in person (80' Nortech), she comes on some of the fun runs down here, it is the most beautiful boat I've ever seen, this is her passing us heading out to the Gulf a weeks ago, I got a chubby................thanks PR

[Cigalert]

58 Ocean Super Sport to fish
38-50 whatever to get to fishing boat without wasting time getting there...that's what the crew is for

And then buy/start a boat co. just to have the excuse of always trying new things without the tax implications of making an actual personal purchase.

She's a beauty, wow!

Btw, have you ever visited the Nortech shop or fastboats.com? If I'm ever in FL I've always wanted to check out both. I've always been a fan of the Nortech 36 cats, and I still remember them bringing their 2 canopy cats, Ballistic and Dangerzone to the 2006 DS poker run... Those two boats, at that time, were just amazing in person, and everyone out west loved the wild paint schemes!

[HB Vic]

Two words "Lady Lisa".................WOW

I totally agree!!

[Tishimself]

I would buy a couple...a 28 bullet for out here...and a 50+' sailboat to moore at the house down in the Caribbean somewhere....once upon a time I had a barefoot cert. and I can still go out and redo it, would love to if I had a boat like that...

[hpboats83]

I would go but "Allez Viette" and pit some big custom power in it with X drives or order a brand new Cheif

I agree on the sport fishing like a viking or something along those lines....Something to get me to Cabo for some Big Yellowfin....

In regards to a go fast boat, I really like the Advantage 32ft victory!

[crazyhippy]

MasterCraft x-80

Some ridiculously overpowered ski race boat (either a Force from Australia, or a Bernico from Belgium) #6 drive and 800" twin turbo from boostpower

Big houseboat on Powell!

Beyond that, would depend on where I end up living.

Not yet, we've only had the Florida place for less than a year and between working on the house when we first got here and then winter boating with the Ft. Myers powerboat club, then going back to LOTO for a few weeks this Summer, we've been on the run, but it's on my list, I've heard nothing but cool stuff about it.

[GRADS]

With 317 million I'd buy a +100' yacht. As far as a hot boat, I would buy a 50' Mystic with turbines.

[Menace Marine]

I would build an old Howard cruiser so nice it would make all the Schiada lovers jealous. After that I don't know. I think I would just build boats that were different and that people think won't work.

I still love the boat in your avator.... did u ever sell it? When I saw it at the DS boat show, I fell in love with it! The nicest, cleanest looking older 25 I've seen... top to bottom and trailer... Awesome boat! Perfect interior design too!

[Sharp shooter]

I would get something like this and cruise the channel.

Nope. Still have it. Don't get to run it much. I want to build the next one with a blown LS. I want to tell everyone I beat them with a small block.

[McRib]

for havasu id buy an outerlimits 46 footer with big power. Id also build a 50' statement with turbines that I would drag around the country. No sport chassis full tractor trailer status with a big ass sleeper. Id hit all the poker runs and run the keys. Id also buy something that could get me to cabo and back safely. Prob something in the 75 ft to 85 ft.

1100's come with 6 drives...better get 1350's.:happy:

Personally I would have a 100 footer with turbines and jet drives for shallow draft around the virgin islands, my 48 MTI for LOTO and a 41-47 Apache redone to new with 1350's and 8 drives on my Florida house lift. Maybe a 52SL Outerlimits.
Dream big right?

[gn7]

I'll settle for this. 114ft of asskicker

[gn7]

It had jets in it, but only to steer it. About all a jet is good for.

[76Bonneville]

Propulsion Type & Engine Room For M/Y GENTRY EAGLE:
Fitted with two MTU / TEXTRON LYCOMING codog main engines, GENTRY EAGLE is able to reach a maximum speed of 64 knots. Coupled to the GENTRY EAGLE engines are twin water jets/1sd (kamewa/arneson). She also has an efficient range of 1250 miles whilst motoring at her cruising speed of 45 knots. Her total HP is 11560 HP and her total Kilowatts are 8506.

I thought I remember reading that it got on plane with the Arneson then the jets kicked in.

[gn7]

It could cruise on the jets, but it needed the Arnesons to hit full speed. I worked a half block from where they build that thing. I watched them put it on the rail tracks in the middle of the night and take it to the LA Harbor.
I think you are misreading that info.

everytime you see a / that is two different systems. As in MTU, water jets, kamewa, AND Textron Lycoming, 1sd, Arneson.

When they made their record runs, they would shut down the jets units and make course corrections by throttling the Lycomings/Arnesons. The Arnesons did swing so steer it. But the jets could be used to make major directional changes, as well as be used in the harbors.

Seeing that thing get fitted out, I never once thought of it as a "jet boat"

[314joey]

Looks like I'll just have to win this thing Wednesday now, gonna be over 400 mil.
