When I was at the miami show I was checkin yachts out like this for fun, but, in reality they were only like 60m long and they were like $100-200k/week. This one is much bigger. Who the hell pays $4M/week. Sheesh. Nobody. I suspect It's a tax dodge to classify it as a commercial operation instead of a private toy. Just think of how much boat you can buy for $4 mil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be a good fit alongside that wakeboat, with "Stereo system with indoor and outdoor speakers" and "Battery bank so big you can crank the tunes all day". You also get these great features: - Impeccable logs and structurally indestructible - Bullet proof inboard Volvo engine that purrs and needs no maintenance or foreseeable repair. - Hydraulic sail drive allows you to go 12 knots (Falling off a wave???) Not to mention the "new" sails which look like they've been sitting in the weather for 20 years. That boat has been around here for many years. It has crew cockpit wells. So if you have to cruise you'd have to go up on deck to roll over for sleeping. Another VRC zombie fleet there I guess. It was like the Peterson 1/2 tonner that was there. Real weird cat that owned it. I raced the other Peterson 1/2 tonner and we won VARC boat of the year - twice; with two different owners. When the other one was always tied to the dock. Never raced or even go out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to say that the price of used boats in the 100' range probably represents a pretty big discount from new because who wants to admit they got their luxury yacht used. Might be true, but might not. Almost anyone buying a boat in that range is going to replace all the electronic goodies and probably make some other changes as will. Looking for examples, I came across this one. Just half a million and change, being sold in bankruptcy. I do like that the listing says both that a refit is in progress and that the boat will be sold "as is." Interior pictures undoubtedly are from when the boat was new 25 years ago.

Snubs Those are access/stowage hatches, which is why the joints are not staggered. But it does look like hell anyway! There are ways to blend that transition better. Personally, I like outlining a hatch with a border strip, which eases the transition and says, "This is a hatch. You may find that malfunctioning bilge pump in here." Recall also that many expensive boats are places to park assets, and some buyers will write down that depreciation instead of eating it. So they don't really care what they sell it for when they are done. They got their fun out of and recoup much of the loss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the douchiest thing is the jet skis. How can jet skis, and similarly wake boats, be that awful they can outshine a 136m gin palace for pure mortification? It's amazing. What's not to like?

toddster 393 #14260 Posted July 27 ^ I've got a book about the old sternwheelers on the Columbia that includes a data table of all the known (to the author?) boats. One of them is listed as built in Geneva, Switzerland, which always leaves me with a "WTF?" and a mental image of something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnotherSailor 191 #14261 Posted July 27 WTF indeed. Herzog actually did it! The film is worth watching, especially if you know that they manually dragged that boat over the mountain (and I believe 3 people got seriously injured in the process). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmiller 630 #14267 Posted August 1 I'm looking for another beater to abuse. This one has a Cadillac converter where most cars only have a catalytic. https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/denver-need-gone-today/7168134458.html Hey all I have a 96 Nissan pathfinder. I need gone ASAP. It is in OK shape not brand new by any means definitely can be a decent car for commute to and from work it does need work though unfortunately it needs a Cadillac converter that is why I’m trying to sell for so low it still runs starts up great the interior is OK not in great shape but it’s an OK car does have a radio. Tires are OK the passenger. The driver window does not roll up I think it’s just off track. I am selling this car because unfortunately I lost my license and I am needing the money to make rent basically. If you’re interested I am willing to take offers I do need to make as much as possible on this car like I said it does still run but I do know that the part is not too expensive to fix if interested please give me a call or you can come look at it today I need it gone as soon as possible cash only.

Textbook question from my old propability theory prof: A fat teenager stuffs two bags of n chips into his pockets. He draws randomly out of each with equal chance.

Therapy 9 #14272 Posted August 2 He propably will discard the bags overboard causing his prob to chew them up. This will propably result in fatter fish to accentuate his fish story regardless of what the value of m is. Though on a fish scale the propability of someone noticing a difference in weight is proberly not going to happen as the mmm factor of fish is preportionally related to the y(u)mmm factor and will be un-noticed.

AnotherSailor 191 #14279 Posted August 4 HA, interesting. Here is his explanation: "In 2019 a Natures Head composting toilet was installed. The original Jabso hand pump head and holding tank are still in place and functional. I added the composting head in the shower. As a liveaboard sailor I did not use my shower and did not want to fuss with a holding tank." There is a a holding tank, but he does not want to fuss with it. Makes perfect sense. NOT.

I don't understand the mocking here. If he doesn't have easy access to a pump out, the composting head makes lots of sense. Living aboard, I'm sure the showers at the marina, or at the gym, or wherever, are way better than trying to shower on a boat. I say good on him for not doing a half-assed job removing the holding tank and causing problems for future owners. If you don't want the composting head, then take it out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so much mocking as amusing. Why not remove the old head and put the composter in its place, leave the holding tank capped off for later use.
