Who cares if the boat was silver, I'm talking about the L.

 

Put a gear in that L and it'll pull it. You might need a 12" ball for the hitch though.

 

LOL!

 

Just for some humbling perspective:

The "boat" would sell for somewhere between $6.5m and $9m - depending on electronics, power, and amenities. At $6.5m would need $1.5m cash to get a loan and your payments on that $4m loan would be about $50k per month. Add taxes, possessory taxes, and moorage and you're paying another $9000 per month. You need a full time Captain at $85,000 a year and two hands at $30,000 a year each even if you never leave the dock - add 30% to the salaries for employer benefits for a monthly total of $15,350. Raw go-nowhere maintenance is about $20,000 a month if the boat is near new and you're not replacing anything.

So far we've written a down payment check for $1.9 (can't forget 7% tax and license); and signed up for a monthly nut of $94,350.
And that's if you never put a foot on the boat or leave the dock.

A trip? Add one more crew member at the same $30,000; an engineer at $65,000; a chef at (and the sky is the limit here) $70,000 and two kitchen helpers at $25,000. Add the same 30% for employer benefits and remember you have to feed them, too.

Fuel? Measured gallons per minute. Probably three if you like to see any wake at all. That's 180 gallons an hour which by now is proving to be a pretty cheap part of the trip.

All-in-all a coastal trip where you are in port at least half the time will cost no less than $25,000 a week and with booze and fun probably push closer to $35,000 a week.

So, if you owned this beauty and you used her ten weeks a year (which is a difficult task) you can plan on spending $130,000 a month.

Or - if all you really wanted to do was be noticed by good looking women - you could buy a Lightning for no down and $700 a month...

 

Very well said........Hey wait a minute, thats WHAT I did
