New $95 million superyacht looks like a killer whale

I would only get it if it comes in Midnight Blue and Gold. Otherwise forget it.

Did someone say motorboat???

Not that's a ship! (boats are on ponds).

I would imagine the statistics on the costs of operating that thing are astronomical. the weather has been so bad this year that my boat (not a ship) hasn't even left the dock once this year. It's pathetic. tomorrow is supposed to be the first time the weather will cooperate while I'm in town. good news is that the golf game has gotten much better. Summer is by far the best time of the year, it sucks it's so short in Michigan. Need to change that - but love all the lakes and golf courses here.

If money were no object and I wanted a freakishly designed giga, I would opt for a WallyPower 85M

If I wanted a mega, it would be a Wally 118.

If I had a budget of under 5 mil and taste was a factor, it would be a Hinckley 55 Talaria.

I yike boats.

Guess when localities are hurting for revenues, urban planners turn their talents elsewhere.

I won't be surprised to see this yatch in an upcoming James Bond flick.

Tom,

Is that inside info?

Are you in the next Bond flick, movie star?:ncaabbs:

Right Terry!

James Bond and the Sand People.

Actually, I played a German tourist with five family members in the movie "Paul" now shooting in NM. It's written by and stars Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Release date is someitme in 2010. Our scene was shot on the first day of filming. We interupt Nick and Simon's recreation of one of the all time great movie fight scenes :-)

Nick and Simon have a blog featuring video interviews and photo postings at WhatisPaul

You can't be a German tourist unless you are wearing black crew socks with your sandals....

Alas, the costume designer passed on my black socks and when with off white to accent my blue sandals! Which, after a few minutes of walking around in the arroyo were all dusty brown.
