PIRATE SHIP- TOUR BOAT

Dude,

Only $47000 pluse 20K in new motors, that is a deal! For only $67,000 you can have your own running pirate ship. You have two options to make your money back.

1. Cruse the high seas and find some sucker with a treasure chest on his boat.
2. Give tours at $10 a pop to 10 people at a time. Thats only 6,700 tours until you make your investment back!

Im in, who wants to be my business partner.

10ppl * $10 = $100 per tour. It'll take 670 tours :facepalm: to pay off the upfront cost

STILL not interested............


670tours @ 2hrs = 1340hrs

4 tours per day, w/ 30 min turn around per tour, for a 10hr day = 134 days of operation

Working 6 days per week, that's 22.5 weeks of operation & 'working' for free just to pay back the upfront. :eek:

Up keep on the boat, paying a couple scurvy dogs & a few boat wenches to play pirate at the dock & during the tour, gas for the boat, plus slip fees and wow, is $50 per enough to cover operating expenses?

Oh & the captain still ain't getting paid.......

Perhaps Capt Fox should have crunched some #'s BEFORE starting a for sale pirate project :watermelon:

It looks more like Capt. Crunch is trying to sell a clapped out Silverton planter/yard art to a unsuspecting, well heeled tourist looking for a retirement investment.

WHAT in Gods name does that P.O.S. have for helm seats? Surely that is not a "factory" option!
People and their expensive junk never cease to amaze me!

It looks to be "Corinthian Leather" and they most likely came out of a high end Yugo, or something like that. Ricardo Montoban would be proud. It's still the biggest pile of dung I have seen. Bet the low profile of the seats will give you the "hood" type profile as you ply your local waters.
