I agree with FLB's statement. There's nothing there to make me want to spend time on the boat (inside or outside). Sure, the speed run would be fun.

Besides, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my budget. ;\)

After looking over the pics again, I realize what it is about the boat that I don't like. It has too many angles and not enough curves. \:\)

Amazing!!

I think it's great that someone can build a stainless steel boat that stops everyone in their tracks. Sort of like watching MJ play basketball, or reading about Edison's inventions - It takes a tremendous amount of planning, effort, vision and salesmanship to get something like that done - and lots of cash.

I read the article, and it's not stainless steel, but metallic painted fiberglass - it still looks good.

That looks.... well..... Interesting to say the least. Man, 118' and fiberglass, that had to be one humungous (sp?) mold.

With those air intakes right there, I wonder what it would be like with a few rolling 4-5 footers

The interior could have been better (like have one). It does look like George Jr. would smoke a cigar while discussing his political future in it.

You would undeniably have EVERYONES attention as you motored thru the marina.... I still find it pretty interesting.... and I could easily spend a few days aboard to 'dry run' the amenities….

Stateroom looks pretty DAM engaging…, and I just love the Cigar Lounge out front..

So? Has anyone else besides CM and FLB been to the actual web site for this puppy yet? I myself only just did.

http://www.wally.com/jumpch.asp?idChannel=44&idUser=0&attivo=2-4


There are far more images and complete technical specs for her there. Check out how the forward deck opens up to expose a really nice lounge area and more.

When taken in full, this boat looks less austere, as it has a full load of creature comforts. For instance, check out the water purifier that can replenish the 300+ gallon fresh water tank.

Then check out the staterooms and all the other amenities. With a 1500 nm range at 9 knots, max speed of 65 knots and everything else this boat has, it qualifies as a true luxury cruising yacht. Perhaps not my first choice, if I actually HAD the money, but there does not seem to be anything left out if the style tickles your fancy.

Looks to me like the "conference" table can double as a spaghetti strainer.

Enjoyed the website.

Still, IMO, the most different boat this year.
