Alright I think we are all boat lovers, right? Well if you had unlimited money what kind of boat (or ship I suppose) would you buy? Give us some info (e.g. boat type, engine type, length, RPM) and a picture and post it here!

If I had unlimited money I would have a 2600ft long 26 deck high ocean liner built, complete with ridiculously luxurious suites, then sail around the world with it, along with thousands of passengers all onboard for free.

If I had unlimited mone yI'd buy this yacht. It's called Tatosh and is currently owned by a microsoft exutive. It has jet skis, a sail boat, and a motor boat onboard. it even has a place to land a helicopter!

I'd live on board and sail all around the world. How sweet would that be?

This is nice.
Big enough, comfortable, and a real rough sea vessel.

But the price is not so nice...

Viknes 1030 sunbridge is my dreamboat

it's a really nice a cabincruiser

the Viknes is handeling rough sea good, and the slogan and logo is: Viknes - Built for the North sea

Shower and oven is standard equipment and follows with the boat wich costs about 200,000Â£ without not to much extra equipment...

They have now just come with a new 1030, 1030 Sunbridge

No, because she's on the bottom of the Atlantic.

I'll let Titanic count!

Well, there are quite a few vessels out there, if I had the money, but I recently came across this:

http://apolloduck.net/106613

1933 Built Queen Mary.

78.8m Long
10.6m Beam
about 2.5m (7'6'') Draft

Okay she would need a bit of restoration, have the steam engines reinstalled.

And not that expensive, Â£154,950, which, if you consider she is a historical steam passenger ship, over 75yrs old now. Most boats now awadays can be priced in the millions...

J3nsen · « **Reply #19 on:** March 15, 2009, 04:21:26 »

It is the cover of Terry (the boat) because there is snow outside ... But the motors can I put up pictures of tomorrow;)

Minime · « **Reply #20 on:** March 15, 2009, 04:22:31 »

How fast is it?

J3nsen · « **Reply #21 on:** March 15, 2009, 04:25:30 »

I dont know, it hold about 33kn with 30Yamaha.... But it was long stem, so had to build up behind the boat, now I have both, so do not know if I should take the brief, for it goes faster...

Draco2 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2009, 16:25:22 »

Hopefully I won't be keelhauled for posting in this thread after so many days.

I have quite a few 'dream boats', really...If I had unlimited money, I'd probably have either the Portoferraio Angel or Marbella Delight from Ship Sim '08 New Horizons, or, possibly, buy the real life ship Balmoral, just for nostalgic value.

I've sailed a few times on both the Balmoral and the Waverly, it'd be so cool to actually own her and take her out on day trips.

Since I'm just dreaming here, though...Back to navigating the seas in the Portoferraio Angel on SS08.
