    The boat looks about as unique as the VX.

    Very nice PK.

    Is it true that BOAT is just an acronnym for Bring Out Another Thousand?

    The two happiest day's in a boat owner's life: the day he buys ... & the day he sells.

    Just as JEEP is an acronym for "Just Empty Every Pocket"...

    In reality, a boat is a semi dry spot in a body of water, into which one throws money...

    Thanks guys.

    Fully concur with the cost of owning a boat thing.

    I always justify it by the amount of fresh fish I catch.

    Buy your fish at the market takes about 1/2 hr and costs $18 - $25 per kg.
    ($9 - $11 per lb.)

    Go fishing - take all day and costs about $100 per kg.

    Logical to me - besides what man doesn't need a floating shed where the missus is off limits.

    Boat is a bit unusual, but a basic catamaran design.
    Extremely stable to fish from, and bullet proof in heavy seas.
    I have seen a promo video where they actually ran a chainsaw down the centre line of the vessel. The 2 halves floated without any trouble.

    30.4 kts flat out, cruises all day at about 25 kts.
    I have owned it since 1988 and it has gone through all the kids things - fishing, kneeboarding, inner tubes, sking, sheeing, and now back to plain old fishing again.

    I can't even get into my own pants!!

    I can see that. It looks like a pretty deep draft. IIRC, our sportster only has a 6" draft ... anything more than a moderate chop & we're getting wet.
