like my runabout.
whatās your point a Rouge wave can take out an oil tanker even an oil rig? Just to be smart and cute?
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Guess who won?
That big fucker does make my SeaRay look a little on the small side 
What does it transform into? I prefer the WHY myself. Beautiful lines and design.
I specifically told them not to publish any photos of my boat.
Uhm, the reason that it is not Rogue Wave certified is that is actually the dingy I use to get to my real yacht.
Rouge waves, who cares. Look at that easy access of the stern for Somali Pirates! To paraphrase Gunny āIf it werenāt dickheads like that naval architect, there wouldnāt be any pirating in the world!ā

Fat and lazy
Funny you should mention that:

BATH, Maine ā Cruising through the darkness in rough seas, the USS Ross encountered a rogue wave that smashed into the destroyerās bow, sending a shudder along the entire ship that knocked sleeping crew out of their bunks and damaged the sonar housing.
As alarms sounded, sleepy sailors scrambled to shore up the leak.
āWe cracked the hull and kept on going like it was nothing,ā retired sailor Jonathan Staeblein, of Hagerstown, Md., recalled. In fact, the 510-foot destroyer was never out of service for repairs during any deployment in the three years he served aboard as an electronic warfare technician.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers such as the USS Ross and USS Cole, which survived a terrorist suicide bombing in Yemen, have proven to be durable workhorses in the U.S. Navyā¦
It seems I might know what Iām talking about in this area. Saying āThe US Navy has a pretty good idea of what it takes to keep ships afloatā would be an understatement.
I hate it when they donāt show the price in the online store.
Plus, one giant asteroid strike and bye bye yachtā¦
If you have to ask, Toddā¦
Wally boats are neat, but Iād take a Perini Navi anyday. Perhaps something understated, like a 141ā sloop-rigged boat for the Long Beach- Seattle run?
I had an uncle who was a naval architect and yachtie. I wish I had the means to do it myself. Very cool stuff, IMO.
Whatever. Sonny Crockett drove a cigarette boat to Cuba. Think he gave a ratās ass about a rogue wave? Hell, a rogue bullet could have taken me out in Iraq last year. Maybe I should have sat in my pod for my entire tour and watched AFN. Rogue Waveā¦:rolleyes:
Well said my friend.
Hereās a great quote from a famous friend of mine:
āYour focus in a fight must be on taking out the threat, not worrying about how not to get shot. You must work from the assumption that in a gun fight, you will get shot but must fight on anyway.āāErnest Langdon
Happy New Year dude.
Same to you amigo. Iām overdue for a gun purchase, although I hear John Harrison will have something nice for on display at SHOT. Hope you, the wife and the family at VA have a good 2010. After the last couple of days, I know where Iām hoping Iāll be breaking in 2011 and 2012 for that matterā¦
yachtsā¦if you are going to do themā¦
anti missile system, bullet proof glass, escape submarine. Just takes money.

Russian oil magnate owns 3 with a 4th in the works. Evidently he learned his business style from Al Capone.

I was hoping someone would post that. Its hard to talk about cool bigass yachts without mentioning the Wally 118. Iād love to get a tour of one. I just love how it looks to combine both speed and class in a modern design.
There is an episode of the Brit car show Top Gear where they talk about it. The clip should be up on Youtube somewhere
where do you put the sails?
Wow! Thatās a heck of a boat.
