ken qv Report post Posted July 16, 2009 The best part of having friends with a boat is so you don't have to buy one. Probably just end up flipping yourself trying to free the anchor anyway. Get a car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Mike Report post Posted July 16, 2009 It all depends upon what kind of boating you enjoy. It can be like cars, motor homes and houseboats, luxury cars and offshore, daily drivers and ?. I think I enjoy sports cars of boating. Not real practical but a lot of fun. 28 ft catamaran with twin 496 HO and 100 mph.

Malebomb Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Scott, As always your Fountain is sick. Probably one of the nicest open fisher center console boats in South FL. Your motors are probably close to $150,000 so that would be a little out of his budget. Damn that is crazy!! Just curious, what is the point of 1400 hp on a fishing boat? Curious of what top speed is on something like that, very cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibaholic101 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 What really sucked was about a year and half ago filling up in the panhandle at nearly $5/gallon!!!!!! wow! your boat sounds incredible! how many feet is it? pictures? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLHOMESITE Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Damn that is crazy!! Just curious, what is the point of 1400 hp on a fishing boat? Curious of what top speed is on something like that, very cool. The boat does 85-90 mph. Will go high 70s mph in 4 to 5 foot waves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vroom Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Food for thought..... A Lambo can only hold one, two women tops. Even a 150k lower end boat will hold at least a half a dozen, plus its way easier to get them naked on the boat, takes less booze too! Go for the boat, helluva bang for your buck!

SV-N-IT Report post Posted July 16, 2009 i have had this debate in my head many times and i always end up with the car (and i live 1 mile from the ocean) like Larry said keep friends with boats and trucks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Mike Report post Posted July 16, 2009 It all depends upon the boat. Riding in someone else's boat is different than driving your own. Would you buy a Lamborghini if you could only ride in the passengers seat? Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagunaRacer Report post Posted July 16, 2009 This is the way my wifes freeloading friends get us to take the boat out, "hey lets take the boat out, we'll pay for the fuel and food, etc". When the fuel truck comes to deliver the fuel I'M THE ONLY fcuking ONE THERE! Not to mention when we get back to the dock, its like a race to get off the boat and HAUL ASS! Leaving me to clean up after everyone, wash the boat etc. In that regard it sucks to be a boat owner. The characteristics of a freeloader are universal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper_Mike Report post Posted July 16, 2009 I know it's limitations, it is just a lake boat. I have been in 4 foot waves. Going against the waves it just fly's across the tops. Going with the waves it turns each one into a launch ramp. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolfaz Report post Posted July 17, 2009 The boat does 85-90 mph. Will go high 70s mph in 4 to 5 foot waves. I went through the speed boat phase years ago. I had 2200hp carbon cigarettes, built triple engine CC's, quad outboard speedboats as well as triple diesel speedboats. My last series of 40' speedboats with triple 6lp-ste yanmar diesels could cruise at 50 MPH for 35 hours straight without refueling with a top of 73mph. Now our area of specialty is building FAST sportfisherman, specifically 42 mph 40' convertibles or 48 mph 61 footers. Its a whole different ball game running large boats that can run those speeds in 8'+ waves. You should see the look on normal boaters faces when they see an offshore battle wagon blast by them. Like I said before though, for $150k go for the car. Also remember dealer mark up on Formulas, bajas and fountains is nearly 48% (sea rays as well), keep that in mind if youre looking at NEW boats.
