OK, you bought your dream boat with that lottery jackpot you won. Let's
assume you purchased a brand spanking new Nordhavn 57
http://www.nordhavn.com/57/overview.php4 .

It is time now to equip it for a long range ocean travel.

Let's start with electronics including navigation, communications,
entertainment.

Again, money is no object.

The strain is showing.


This is a thread about boats. Harry, why don't you just join in the
fun..........otherwise STFU and stop the whining.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Nordhaven 57

Fine, then equip whatever boat you want.

Harry,
I have to be honest with you, that hurts my feelings to be called a poseur.
I would prefer if you didn't call me names. If you don't have anything nice
to say, please don't say anything at all.

As soon as the fun starts, I'll join in. When I was in junior high, I
remember chatting with the other fellows about "what kind of car would you
buy if you had a really big allowance?" I'm not in junior high anymore,
and I don't fantasize about slow-moving boats that must draw nearly 8' of
water.

I enjoy practical or informational boating discussions.

What you're doing, and I don't mean it as an insult, is playing
"Smithers." He has absolutely nothing meaningful to contribute to a
boating discussion, so he searches the internet for something - anything -
that is boating-related. Well, you're not a boating poseur, so why play
one?

Tom,
I would agree with all of your choices except for the bevy of busty deck
hands. I would prefer tall athletic woman with small and perky boobs. I
find the busty deck hands only want to lie in the hammock or sunpad.

Kewl!!!

Ok, first I'd start with Raymarine E-system - the whole shooting match
including the bow thruster interface for positioning purposes.

Second, I'd install a Sea Tel system for communications including
Internet/phone and whatever else I could stuff into it.

Third, a Sea Tel Satellite TV system with US/EU compatibility and the
HDTV application.

Fourth, whatever was in vogue for stereo equipment today along with
flat screen LCD TVs for all the staterooms.

A complete set of fly-by-wire controls for engines, HVAC, steering,
etc.

Last, and not least, A bevy of busty deck hands whose uniforms consist
of string thong bikini's.

And after the wife boards, they will find you dead, on whatever that is not
a Nordhaven 57.

Raymarine vs. Furuno radar/plotter?

Other than the babes? A more "complicated system" has yet to be
invented.

You probably meant that although the babes are a complicated system,
(especially when there are more than one!), they couldn't really be
considered "too many." :-)
