You ever see one of them take on fuel? They don't go to the fuel dock, tanker trucks pull up to THEM. And not just one, more like two or three. Look up fuel consumption, capacity, and do the math..... 
Sailboats FTW! Friend has a 38ft racer / cruiser we sail out of Annapolis. Topped it off last summer with about 30 gal of diesel. As we were leaving the fuel dock, he said, "See you in two years!"

I remember watching something about superyachts 2-3 years ago.
Again these are for superyachts 150+ foot quad-deck super luxurious boats, not the smaller ones we are talking about.
But I remember them saying for one particular boat, it cost $50,000 to fill up.
I can only imagine that it probably cost more like $100,000 these days.

If you have a problem with this, take it to PM with either me, or any of the other mods...And oh, your stunt yesterday of spamming CT with a bunch of boats was not lost on me either...So, I dunno I guess I'm just politely saying PFO. Thanks.

I thought they were just as appropriate as boats in car talk...afterall they were produced/influenced by automobile mfg(s). We are ok to post about bikes in here too.
You posted boats...i thought it was fair game....afterall you are a mod
I guess humor is lost in cartalk...or transport talk.

^ Oh good...so, what a coincidence. I post a boat thread and you decide it's all fun and merry to just spam the board with more boats...a skateboard, a train, and plane threads...?
If this was done over time, I suppose I wouldn't really have really cared...but, first you get snarky about the start of this thread, and when there was not enough response to your so-called call for sarcasm, you decided to prove a point and create all the other stuff. It's a wonder how synth19 was patient enough to merge your crap...

Skat, owned by the creator of Microsoft Excel and Word, Charles Simonyi
Apparently there was quite some discussion about the way the windows pop out of this boats structure, the military like design and its gray paint. Many people dislike(d) it.
The owner's response in a magazine:
"To them we say, buy your own yacht."

I thought you were a better sport about things.
I saw the humor in your name change to your boat thread.......
In all fairness I think alot of people got the joke in the other threads.....no need to get so bent out of shape......If you don't like the threads....
'em if it makes you happy.I thought the 'Porsche" boat was cool...and so is the "Ferrari" airplane....I'll stick to a regular skateboard...don't need the BMW version.....as for the Hyundai train...I'll leave that gem for the resident Hyundai fan boys.

And I would settle for a scooter if I was being taken from dock to dock in one of these.
