That must be what our $3/gallon gas prices are funding!

It looks like it was designed to the specifications of an old-time Texas millionaire oil man. Does the word "gauche" have any application here? Does anyone wonder why power boaters are held in such disdain?

Could be interesting in 30-50' seas... I'm not sure that thing even qualifies as a "coastal cruiser" much less a "powerboat."

Poor thing. It will only accomodate <font size="3">16</font id="size3"> guests.


And <font size="6">70</font id="size6"> crew.

In 2009, households with children reported food insecurity at almost double the rate for those without children, 21.3 percent.

I don't begrudge the wealthy having their toys but, if there is a picture of evil, this is certainly among the contenders.

I never much cared for pontoon boats anyway.

If you look carefully, there's a C250 afloat in the port aft swimming pool. I think it's doing a broad reach.

But Paul, do they tow it to the beach on the transom using the F-350 Super-duty, the HumVee, or the Dodge Dually? and how many crew does that take away from te ships more vital functions - like maybe the spa or theatre, or the entertainers?

That ship is NOT an accurate reflection of the Principality of Monaco, because the empty residential lot where I pitched my backpacker's tent is nowhere to be seen!

A number of years ago I spent a lovely May evening 2 or 3 blocks from the casino lounging in my sleeping bag with a baguette, some camembert, and a great 6 franc bottle of beaujolais that I found on the drive over from Nice.

I don't see any free camping spots on that lousy boat! What's wrong with them? No class?
