OK now if I could afford that, I'll be living on the water some where, that thing is way bigger than my house

I wonder what the GPH is, I'm guessing not good.

You don't drive that one, use the toon, but I bet she sucks a bunch of diesel

If you can afford the boat you don't worry about the fuel economy.

It's a Caribbean ship. The flag is from the British Virgin Islands.

A guy on our lake has a 127' yacht that' slightly smaller than the one in the picture. It displaces 350 tons--7 times that of a 50' Hatteras. And it has 3 employees when not in use. With two 1,200 hp engines, it has a 4,500 mile range--can make it to Europe non-stop. Such a boat costs about the same as a Gulfstream V jet, and it must be incredibly expensive to maintain.

The yacht spends much of its life in Ft. Lauderdale and away from home.
