Always happy to join a boat thread!
Was on mine last weekend in Mallorca. Twin v8 petrol engines, so plenty of horse power but only about 0.8 mpg!
And before anyone comments, yes, those are the Renauld sunglasses from the opening Lambo Muira sequence in the Italian Job

I wish! But no, it's just that boats are big and heavy, and it takes quite some fuel to get them to plough through the waves. So in fuel terms, it costs me around £10 per mile.
Cheaper than my Mrs then!!

I knew buying a boat was cheaper than a mall!

Nice, having been over there recently on the waves you’ve certainly got the surroundings for it. Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

It’s why not many boaty people choose twin V8 petrols these days!
And why most people don’t venture far at full throttle.
But hey, ”you’ll never be late when you take the V8”!

Really? $17 a mile, that includes wine tho doesn’t it?

For Sale
1 Boat
Hardly used.
Pm me.
Sorry Fellas boats off the market.
Just checked and luckily in Oz we use kilometers.
That was nearly an expensive mistake!!

You’d need to be
  1. Minted
  2. Mental
  3. Both
To buy a boat anywhere else.

Not intruding at all.
It’s a new boat for us, not a new boat tho. I had one many years ago in the ME but never felt confident with it- you could buy one and drive it away. No training!
This time around I’ve done a course, got licenced and now I’m a legal hazard to everyone In my path.
Its not a yacht, it’s a powerboat….so less skill. Suits me Sir.
Nearly bought a Maser Convertible instead but thot, nup. We live in an incredible part of the world and the boating scene is something we should all experience.
Besides, it’s never wrong to take Profits and I’ve done ok……despite rumours I’m **** hot at what I do ;)

I’ve never seen anything as mental as a fork lift, lifting a fully loaded, fuelled boat out of an ocean.
Go for it, life’s too short…..unlike this, 10m of sexiness.

Easier to park than a modern Qp.
Well done Wattie....She's a stunner!❤
