All I want to know is how do you become a private equity investor? That thing is enormous! (T.W.S.S.)

Nice lookin' "boat." Most of the superyachts leave me cold in terms of styling, but I like this one. The lines are very much like a sportfisherman and that gives it a "yacht look," rather than a "ship look."

Nice to be able to throw 82 million bucks around, huh?

Only 315,000 more years of NOT playing the lottery and I should have enough saved up to buy it!

Agree, the hull has a bit of a flair to it.

I was just thinking the guy who bought it is out of Denver? Where the heck is he going to put it? Its bigger then most lakes here in Colorado in fact I think its draft is deeper then Chatfield Lake is! I Hope it has bow thrusters because he is going to need them to turn around in lakes around here!

97,000 gallons @ 3.15 per gallon = $305,550 just to fill up the first time out!

Y'all mind chippin' in for gas on the next fishin' trip?

Re: Largest US Built Yacht

I remember watching her being built thinking she was a new L.I. ferry
the thing I find funny is she has fixed pitch props. But you had to see the thing in dry dock Awesome!!!!

I guarentee you that we have more fun and get more excited about taking our little boats out than he ever will. What memories and lessons could a 5yr old get from that? other than greed. When you have that much i don't think much could excite you.
But it is really cool and i would love to see it in person

Re: Largest US Built Yacht

Trust me, if you can blow $80+ million on a boat, fuel cost is not a worry.

Amen on that! There are alot of folks around here, and other places, that spend more on their boat than all other assets. An old boss built the dock, bought a 2 mil boat, and built his $250,000 home afterward!

After the trickle down effect, it eventually puts money in some of our pockets.

Bikini clad deckhands? Whatever you want.
