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.

I would suggest you consider the Le Grand Bleu. According to the write up,
LGB was lengthened from 108m to 114m by her new owners. I think the OEM
didn't put in rod holders and the new owners had to lengthen the boat to
install them.

Look at the 'dingy' on that thing. I'm sure it's bigger than my Proline. Glad to
hear they've made it a worthwhile boat by installing rod holders!

Kind of fun to go fast in a big boat. Took the Fast Ferry boat from
Barcelona to Majorca in 2001. 97 meters not feet and did 47 knots. And
the boat carries 300 cars and a few semi's amd 800 passengers at that
speed. . . in comfort. Had to slow to about 40 returning as there were
some 10' seas about. Jetdrive and 38,000 HP!
Yiu don't have to travel that far for a fast ferry...
see http://www.catferry.com/

But Majorca is warm and the waters are warm.

I did have a good look at the dinghy, the one at the stern. It looks just
like my boat er ah dinghy. I thought I was a boater, now I realize I am just
a dinghist, dingher, or closer to a dinghbat. :}

Thomas

Ditto. I think. Maybe his dinghy is made of papier-mache, just to fool us.

Check out the Annaliesse. There was a special on some TV show yesterday that
showed a tour of this thing. It was unreal. Theater, spas. swimming pool, you
name it, the boat had it. Five levels with an elevator. It can be leased for
$120,000 per *day*, or for a real bargain, $350,000 per week. Maybe I'll take
the wife out for a couple weeks cruise in the Med. [Maybe he'll rent the dinghy
for only $2500 a day!]
