A boat for you multi-millionaires

She's been for sale for about 8 years now- they'd probably discount it just a bit.

I saw this boat (in race form) back in 1989. Pretty cool.

When they say "preserved", they mean the electronics are obsolete. They date back to 1989 or even earlier!

Does it come with full tanks?

A few years back there was an obsolete aircraft carrier some 3rd world country was selling on Ebay for around $7million. I thought you were going to link to something like that.

Britain, just had one of their carriers up for sale a few months ago, it was one that I had actually been transported on when I was in service and that one had helped Britain take back the Falklands when they have their war, way back when. As I remember it was a pretty good buy for scrape..

Do you think he'll give me a good trade in on my 1985 Bayliner Capri bowrider?

For some reason I seem to remember the one that was on Ebay was once a Brittish carrier then it was sold to a South American country where it served for several years and was being sold for scrap. I do remember the price was $7 million.

I'm pretty sure this was the carrier that was sold on Ebay. I was thinking it was originaly British and was sold by Argentina and was thinking it was 8 to 10 years ago. According to the wikipeda article this one was decomissioned in 97 and sold for scrap in 99 which fits roughly into the time period I rememberd.

Re: A boat for you multi-millionaires

That is not the one that I was thinking of, we had a thread about it in the dockside chat area a few months ago, but I don't seem to be able to find it now, and for the life of me, I can't remember the name right now, its on the tip of my tongue, but I be darned if I can spit it out! I must be getting old!

I guess people are right when they say aluminum boat's hold their value better than a fiberglass boat... When was the last time you saw a fiberglass boat selling for $4 million bux
