It can be yours for (ouch) $245,000

Worth it? Not to me, but it does look like a bombproof load of fun.

Mercy. That thing is better than Viagra.

I got an email from Blackwater a few weeks back where they had one for sale.

As shitty as the economy is in MI, you could buy a whole fleet with that kind of coin.

For a Quarter million $$$ It needs to be at least 40' long and be world travel capable. With full galley, head, and granite counter tops.

I actually need one of those. I lost all my other boats in a horrible gun accident.

Yeah, or a nice little pussy magnet like this Sea Ray Sundancer plus some leftover change for gas.

Hell, I'll sell you my Carver for one tenth of what that blow up toy costs for that matter.

Different boats.

No trolling motor.
No live well.
No fish finder.
No room for a cooler full of beer.

FAIL.

you gotta be shitting me.

for that kinda money you can buy a REAL boat that won't rot in the sun sitting on the trailor.

Cool. That would so go with my Machine Gun of the Special Forces I got from Vulcan Armament.

I'd pay $245,000 for a boat that flies.

At that price, it better come with a few more toy's than just the boat.

Good luck getting rid of any big boat right now without taking a complete bath. We had a guy last week that was turned down for financing on a $200k boat with $100k down. He owns a million dollar home outright and has perfect credit. Shit's getting crazy.

There's a surprising amount of fail in this thread [>:/]

I wonder what it is about that thing that makes it cost $245,000?

I must be missing something.

1/4 million and no cup holders?

I used to drive different RHIBs in the Navy, though fun and stable in open ocean and all that, I wouldn't pay that much for one.

Cool and all but what happens the first time you stick a treble hook in it?

245,000 is cuddy cruiser territory, no way im paying that for something without a head and radar.

Balsa core on a 250k boat= fail!

lots of go-fast boats and battlewagons are balsa cored, like:

I disagree. What are you going to do with a 1/4 million dollar RIB? I'll tell you what I'd do with a 1/4 million dollar 40' cruiser: pack the decks with hot women and kick it around sunny climes while making sure the bed in the master cabin gets put to good use.

I used to race sailboats a lot and there was a guy that had one of those. The back story is he inherited a large trust fund and wanted to learn how to sail. Instead of spending the money on lessons he decided to chauffeur around the race officials and watch the boats race. This was a youth racing circuit as well. No one was older than 20 and non of the boats were over 17 feet. Most people thought it was a little weird.

Ohh, now somebody can buy a SEAL boat to go with their SEAL boots, SEAL BDU's, SEAL shirt, SEAL hat, SEAL sunglasses, SEAL watch, SEAL dive fins, SEAL wetsuit, SEAL 226, SEAL tent, SEAL err, you get the idea
