Man this person has done a beautiful job on this boat! I hope he gets every penny. Not sure what it would cost to run and maintain but if the 649 or Lotto 7 comes through for me I’d be right on that. Even if it looks half as good as the pictures, that would be so cool.

Saw that yesterday. Showed the wife....She said that it was good it was livable, because if I bought another effing boat, it better be.......:D

I agree, they've done a nice job with that, but I can't help but think there is a very shallow pool of buyers for something like that. I also wonder what the running and operating costs are for something like that. A couple trips down to south America could pay for that pretty quick. One way or another, your future living arrangements would be taken care of......:D

They've already lowered the price $175k....
 
I don't know what's in the bottle but it looks interesting.

The sextant on the table is also cool. I was given one as a speakers gift at an event I spoke at. I was blown away by their generosity. Mine is solid brass. I don't know what that one is made of. Looks like it might be bronze.
 
I worked on boats for 33 years: I do not and will never “own” one. Even a bass boat is $$$
That tug is a beauty but probably operates as a cottage vs a sailing craft as all that cool stuff would be smashed pretty easily in any rough water. As @Susquatch suggests- the bottle on the table looks interesting….. hahaha
