Post My new Boat.....

I'm picking her up tuesday, what do you guys think?

I think i'll have to redo the lay out of the boat, the old one is far to military, I think i'll have to throw in some hot tubs, and maybe a small go cart track on the deck, not sure yet, but you can be damn sure that i'm going to add a hot chicks room....

I was thinking you could set up an autocross course...

Dock, pick up the cars and drivers, leave port...hit some rough sea's and have a REAL challenging autocross.

We could use the catapult to help the turbo cars launch off the line.

Yeah, but I bet it cost that much just to fill up the fuel tanks!

I think it will work well for a rennlist 944 gathering, we will just go from port to port around the country till we have filled the deck with '44's....

Maybe that would get another '44 on the cover of rennlist....

And yes the timing belt is fresh, you have no idea how hard it is to tension a 200 foot belt.....
Water pump is new as well, I think it pumps 100000 gallons an hour to keep it cool.....

Donald Trump eat your heart out...

Tony, can you imagine one of those docking and letting off their crew of over 5000? Though this is a small Brit one with a smaller complement. Much better than a few crappy Porsches driving off.

Ask anyone that is waiting.
