yep, motors are for no0bs.

Can't stand motor boats. Usually has to do with the IQs of the operators.

How much does one of these cost new?

Drug boat. Good for going fast in heavy seas, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a pleasure boat. That is a nice specimen of the genre, though, and makes Sea Rays look like the posers they are.

Now all you need is some open sea and waves and you really can enjoy the summer.
Couple weeks ago I found a rock at 35knots in a place which was supposed to be clear of traps. Took several hours to get back to harbour from the sea with tiny auxiliary engine...
Thank god I had plenty of speed so hull was intact; only prop and driveunit were more or less totalled...

Hull price of 88,000. How do you figure it is cheaper? Unless you do not need things like engines, inner-liner-you know, the small details.

Engines and drive units cost money too. Also some just are more expensive due the equipments already installed in factories; some are sold as "turn key" with fully equipped pentry, toilet and with radio/TV/VCR equipments while in some you need to do it yourself.

I see. So all that stuff will run another 160,000 or so bucks? Also take into account that the boat Ripsnort showed didn't look to be 34 feet long.

I hardly anything about boats, except for the fact that nice new ones cost ****loads. $250,000 just seemed a bit high to me, that's all.

250k is a bit too much; with that amount of money you'd get a real cruiser like This.

This would cost about half of it, 126000€ with twin Volvos.
