Dreaming! if you had 250K to spend on a boat what would it be????

[PinHead]

250k what would it be a deposit on a 50ft riv

that might get production started..was talking to a bloke the other day..he has a 51' Riv..he used to hate Rivs but now loves the new hull design.

Brand new 2700 Noosacat. Left over change can pay for fuel and fresh mullet

[deckie]

I'd probably need two new rigs for that.....on a trailer and to buzz about Syd and take up and down the coast i'd want a nice new Cape Horn 21 with a 250

...and to quickly get out there i think a Yellowfin 34 with a couple of big f'off verado's on the back and a nice berth at Royal prince Alfred should cover it.

Yeah thats all, cheers, thanx.

would be an oldie, but a goodie, and you are right, 250k still wouldn't pick up the bill

Bubi 2 gets laid down in September, hopefully. She'll cost close to that when complete.

About 10m overall, 315 Yanmar with leg. Long range, freezer and fridges, solar power, genset air con, galley and bathroom, enough fresh for 3 or 4 showers plus drinking, and very full electronics suite. Full length roof, fish magnet!

She'll be close to $250K when complete.

Then Bubi 3? 250K will be a deposit.

Cheers,

Tim

If I had a spare 250 I would be going to see the owners of "Wild Turkey" 34' Custom.

Or this

And have plenty of diesel money left over

A nice 35 Berty or Caribbean would be hard to beat for that money though for a fishing boat and family cruiser.

Sorry to others in the race who've worked hard, but she'll be a Riptide.

Sounds like a "most machine" Timi, can't wait to see it go together.

Gotta love the genset and aircon for a good nights sleep.

where are you going to tie it up Tim?

Yeah true that. Just a couple of ducks left to line up now. We'll have hull, paint and engine done, the rest will be done bit by bit by me and my Deckie!

Out the back.

Spend the dosh on an airberth and save the dramas of anitfoul and the zt350 livin in the water. You can get them to plumb in a fresh water flush that way too, just to keep everything nice.

Good luck on the build mate, I'm sure it will be fun.

60ft x 35 ft steel barge capable of 6-8 knots, setup with accommodation, big watertanks, solar, sofa, the net, TV..all the mod cons even if a little "fishing shack" will be ok with me.

Will be used for 1 to 3 week long trips, sit out on the reef and just fish/dive/snorkel ...just chill.

cannot afford an island so I will make one
