Wow! If the bidding would drop about 6,999,999...I might think
about bidding on it.

It's the cost of a crew that'll kill you.

<font size="4">What would you guys recomend?</font id="size4">

<font size="4">A long shaft 8 or 9.9 honda?</font id="size4">

<font size="4">What about converting it into a cruise ship. Or a fly-in floating condo.</font id="size4">

I'll bet an entreprenurial type could make money with that big girl.

Or show up somewhere, like the Abacos, and pretend you are about to invade. Remember the movie, "The Mouse that Roared".

Totally cool.

According to the seller, you'd have to round up 1000 sailing buddies to take her out for a spin...... and another 300 guys if you want to resume air operations.

Of course they'd all want to chip in for the fuel.

Even if I had a crew and fuel enough and $$$$$ I couldn't see this thing coming up the East coast of the U.S. and especially into N.Y.
harbor without a four month search by the Coast Guard. So I will pass. "Bear" on the hard in upstate N.Y. It may get above freezing today, second time this year.
