That's really cool.... A cool 4.5 million and you can have your very own aircraft carrier.

The neighbors might complain if you park it in the front yard.

I guess you would also have to have that F350 dually with the 6.0L PSD to pull it too. Since it can pull a commercial jet, I am sure that it can pull that aircraft carrier

Well, you have to figure that the airplane is made of aluminum... it might take a couple of 350's to pull that big steel thing... just a thought...

Hrrm... I think I'll buy it so I can have an excuse to buy a couple of KR SD's.... LOL!

Thats true, but with the Brazilian Navy as the last owner, don't you think there would be thongs in every nick and corner?

I does have 36,000 SHP. A few mods and you could have that thing cranking out 40,000 SHP. You'd have the fastest aircraft carrier on the high seas!

Not sure about the thongs but, if they come with it, hell, that's a bargain!

Good point Wittom... I'm sure it'd be realatively easy to mod out an oil powered 2-shaft Parson's geared steam turbine engine. I was working with one of those last week... talk about a nice engine! LOL!

Don't bother wasting your money on mods, it would be like a 4-banger vs. V8 with the same weight. Take out the oil burning motor and put a nuke one in then you will kick some *** on the high seas. Them nukes can haul some serious ***...

And just think if you get the V-10 Ford you would be able to tow it to your local lake or ocean. That's what the commerical shows...

I guess I'll have to go get a lottery ticket. You could pick up some babes with that deck boat. Did it list Gallons per day it would cost to run that little puppy?
