More absurd yet has to be puching a 95-footer at 27knots. I wonder how
many gallons per minute that has to consume?

Let's count - one, two, many, lots.

95-feet isn't a boat, it's a business.

Damn straight. Really, 95 feet? That's just plain ridiculous.

Then again, look at some of the homes people with that kind of
monetary horsepower build - 5000 sq ft for three.

I dont' get it.

I have a 3,800 footer for 2. That's because I am an empty nester though.
Bought the house new 15 years ago. Wasn't planning for the 2 kids to grow up
that soon. When I retire, I'll move to a smaller house with an outbuilding
for the woodshop that has taken over the basement.

But a 95' boat is really way out of the question. Who on earth would buy
such a thing?

Someone who couldn't afford a 100' boat?

Now you have me wondring. Does a 100' boat come with a full size basement
and a 2 boat garage?

Greg Norman's boat did - a 25 foot Aquasport CC and a 30 something
Hattaras I believe - on the boat.

Actually, these are the boats aboard his yacht (as noted at the website
http://www.ssqq.com/archive/vinlin24.htm ):
===========================================
To get the people out to those choice dive spots, or maybe just for having
a bit of a splash, the following additional "small" boats are kept onboard:

42-Foot Custom Built "Game Fisher" Can be launched and retrieved from the
deck. Perfect for a 4-person overnight fishing expedition. Has a gourmet
galley for cooking up the catch while it's still fresh.

30-Foot SeeVee for a quick afternoon fishing trip.

22-Foot Novurania Equator with a meager 800 horsepower so you can get to the
best diving sites ahead of everyone else. It has beach landing capability as
well.

(2) 18-Foot Hewes Bonerfishers for those special occasions when Greg and a
close friend may wish to maneuver over the sand flats in Key West, Florida

13-Foot Narwhal Rescue Boat in case someone falls off one of those other
boats.

And finally, just for the hell of it, (4) Yamaha Waverunners!!!
================================================== ==

WOW!

I could also tell you about the Rolls Royce he keeps in his cottage
basement in this area for the one week or so he spends here each year.
It's a whole different world these guys travel in.

Why yes - yes it is. Just the other day I mentioned to my wife that,
what with the size of the F-250 pickup I drive, I really needed to
purchase another pickup just so that I could drive around town in
something more efficient - oh, say like a Cadillac or maybe a Hummer
II.

Sadly, she didn't quite agree with that idea, so I'll have to settle
for a Dodge Neon - at auction. :)

Seriously, it is amazing. My wife has some friends in that income
range and it truly is a whole 'nother world. We're doing just fine by
comparison, but wowzers.

Thanks - I wouldn't remember the exact parade of boats he had on that
thing as I saw the article once a while back.

We've been told she has some serious illness that prevents JimH from
owning a boat.
There's no reason to pick on her. JimH is fair game, if you're so

Thank you Chuck.

And imagine that....Krause thinking it is strange to sit on ones boat at the
dock when the seas were too rough to go out in. Why, we even slept on the
boat overnight while at the dock, most often with our kids aboard too.
Hell, we even had cookouts and parties at the dock with our friends and
other dock neighbors.

Amazing stuff....eh Krause? And you claim to be a boat owner? You disprove
it with most every post you make here.

A good buddy of mine worked for a 'rich dude' in Florida. The guy had
two large yachts...one in Florida and one in the Mediterranean. Before
my buddy left..there was talk of traveling to Hong Kong and buying a
larger boat for Florida. Seems the 'little one' there didn't have a
helicopter landing pad.


I'm having a hard time selecting my next boat. I'm sure it'll be one of these,
but haven't decided which -- yet.

More likely a paddling pool and a rubber ring, for your Viking funeral.

Harry, your insults are music to my ears. I'll have to leave you unfiltered for
a while just for the reading pleasure. Did you take your Lobsta boat from
Solomons to Tangier? Do you have a satellite internet connection on the Lobsta
boat for the posts you made while eating lunch in Tangier?
