The tender/life boat hanging off the side there is larger and more luxurious than most things you'll find in a typical small scale marina and costs $4m alone. It carries two of them.

Luna was sold to Roman Abramovich's close friend, Farkhad Akhmedov, for $400 million U.S. dollars in April 2014.[1] Akhmedov sent the yacht to Bremerhaven, Germany in October 2014 for an extensive refit of over $50m, delivery due December 2015. No public information is known about the details. [7] By now it might be worth less though based on the difference between the original cost and the last price. Edit, also from wikipedia: "Fitted with an anti-missile system like its sister ship, Eclipse (yacht). All windows are bulletproof to B7+ levels. The steel hull is over 17.5 cm thick. LRAD guns, bomb-proof doors, FLIR."

Not really fair cause these things get chartered out most of the time anyway. I would assume the charter accounts for much of the costs.

I've been daydreaming about having a WWII submarine as a private yacht. They just look cool. (VIIC looks cooler, but would have to be a repro; American fleet boats you could probably still find an original for sale and fix it up, plus it's bigger and has A/C.) Edit: also I currently live in a singlewide trailer house, so a VIIC would actually not require any of the space compromise one usually has to make to live on a boat! (I measured it. My house is exactly the same width as the pressure hull of a u-boat. And I'm rather short, so I could deal with rounded ceilings. Hell, the house has 7' ceilings, pretty sure the u-boat would actually be higher in the middle.) Chillbro Baggins fucked around with this message at 00:05 on May 5, 2016 |

If you'd asked about 20 years ago, I could have hooked you up. My dad was selling an Oberon for somebody. Going price was $450k in those dollars (i.e, about the scrap price) Even bigger than a fleet boat but with another 20 odd years of technology, and cheaper than most houses!

My dad's first car was a '57 Bel Aire. At the time, he was ashamed be be seen in a ten-year-old car. Now he's kicking himself for selling it when he joined the Army in '69..

Have you guys ever been on an actual sub? They are so full of crap, that even though the pressure hull measurements might make you think they are decent sized, in reality, they are cramped and tiny inside (subs of that era anyway). If you are ever in San Diego, go to the Maritime Museum and for the $16 entry fee you can tour a Russian boat from the cold war era, and as US boat, the USS Dolphin, that was used for various experimental purposes. They are both just crammed full of equipment, and I am not sure how much of it could realistically be removed. It's really quite amazing how such a huge vessel can feel so small inside.

I've been in both a U-Boat and an American Sub. I'd love to have one. With proper Automation and improved controls and PLCs, it could be a dream.

I put a seal kit in, then reattached the foot and the shift linkage got caught on the engine's powerhead:  This is supposed to be one piece.  I was going to weld it, but that's right in the shift fork notch. It's off to ebay again.

Went down to the boat yard last weekend and helped finish up the boat for the racing season. Completely sanded the bottom and ready for a new coat of copper paint. Looking forward to a competitive season out on Lake Michigan.

The closest one I can find that actually shows cost to charter is the much smaller "Taruma". Small being relative of course at 383' and 8343 tons. It costs 630,000 Euro's per week. Plus expenses. Haha...

Just got home from vacation, 15 days at sea. Slowly crawling around the Oslofjord and Vestfold coast. Hope everyone else is having a suitably salty summer. Couple of random pics. Leaving sgrdstrand.  Approaching Drbak, Oscarsborg fortress in centre of pic

I forgot I was going to share my last little project right before I set off on vacation. I installed this shore power + charger kit. It's a plug'n'play sort of deal with no exposed 220V leads so it's legal to install it yourself. It was pricey but I'm super happy about it, it's a real relief to know the batteries are always topped up even after spending 3-4 days in a guest marina. Electric toilet as much as you want, cell phone charging, etc. Plus there's always hot water (after I figured out why there wasn't - whoever installed it had the thermostat set to 0).   Rather a neat job with my fists of ham, if I must say so myself.  The scary part was drilling in the boat's side.

Very nice work. I plan to install shore power and charger on my Scarab 29 as we will most likely slip it next year instead of trailering it. What kit did you go with?

I went with this package: http://www.seatronic.no/landstrom-landstrom-c-81_385/defa-landstromspakke-p-4737 Plus a compatible DEFA charger. Doubt you can get this exact kit locally but probably something roughly similar.

Not that much cheaper once you add the galvanic isolator. Which you probably should!

Is the galvanic isolator necessary if the boat is on a lift with no part of the boat touching the water?

A valid point. I'm sure there will be a time we will use it at another lake while slipped not on a lift.

I think I found the best/worst boat AI combo posible: Cabin Cruiser 22' Bayliner 2270 Alaskan Explorer - $6000 (Post Falls) Doesn't seem that AI until you notice the engine looks a little odd...  Yup, its rotary(12a I assume?) powered. I grew up on boats, so I should know better, but a friend of mine and I have been talking about going in on a boat together and the idea of a rotary one is awesome. Yes, involving money between friends is bad, but all those decisions aside, how stupid of an idea is this? Biggest issue here is that the boat is in Idaho and I am in Seattle. quote:If you can see this, it's for sale. Best live on, full time, all season, fishing boat you will find. Set up for big fish on big lakes. 22', fiberglass, Bayliner, 2270, Explorer with: Hard top, enclosed cabin and pilot house, Head w/ dockside pump-able porta potty, galley w/ 10 gallon fresh water tank, 3 burner propane stove, Magna Stainless steel propane barbeque, hot water heater in cabin, Hummingbird 541 fish finder, Atkins Rotary engine (marine version of an Mazda RX-7 engine), can sleep 6 adults, holds 10 fishing rods, includes a 4' Penn electric and a 4' Penn manual down-riggers with swivel bases, water hose on deck, all navigation and interior lights work, awesome 10 hp Honda 4 stroke kicker with steering control arm, Windshield defrosters, swim deck, bumpers, ropes, large Danforth anchor, 60 gallon gas tank, Big Jon electric dual outriggers, shore power, safety equipment, extinguisher. Two 12-volt marine batteries. Hull has anti-fouling paint. EZ Loader trailer in excellent condition with 4 new tires w/ less than 200 miles on them and a brand new 2000lb electric winch. 509-630-nine550 or 509-seven14-7384 Also, waiting on my brother to chime in here, I think he follows this thread and I have not mentioned this idea to him. Bets on weather he calls me an idiot or is on board with the plan?
