Ugly. I'd be embarrassed to show up at the yacht club driving that thing.

Worse than that it only ranks 16th on this list:

THis one's only 25th, but it takes a crew of 60 and you'll make a statement arriving in port, all sails laid, and with up to 63 of your best friends.

I'd settle for "that thing". I don't think the owner "drives it".

its a sarcasm. Maybe you need this to tell
Sarcasm could be dripping, but Good sarcasm should always be a little subtle and leave a bit of doubt as to its sincerity.

few years ago, while working in the UAE - I was able to watch the MY Dubai pull into port -------- biggest behemoth I've ever seen.

Humorously, the Ruler of Dubai was able to grab the yacht on a firesale from the Prince of Brunei.......

I couldn't even rent the darn thing for an evening cruise if it was on sale for 99% off!

How big and where is the shop?

I mean, anybody can use stingray hide.

I'd take it off his hands if he wants to sell.

And wouldn't give a darn about the sarcasm that floats around here...

Warning! Has a few curse words in it and some non English subtitles. Hopefully it isn't construed as being impolite, rude or insulting.
That was not the intent. That was that some can easily let sarcasm pass without realizing it was sarcasm until it is later explained. Sometimes in depth. Sometimes only a small hint.

What we post and the words we use have to be chosen carefully, as they can be interpreted in a fashion to be construed as impolite, rude, or insulting.

Rent one of these beauties for a day? try paying the dock fee. I'm not sure what premium dock fees are now, 1st guess would be $6./ft./day. That would only cost $650,000 /yr. for one of the shorter 300 footers. Thats not including elec or fuel.

In this area, it's more like $10 -$20 per foot.

Won't work. No rod holders and I can't tow it behind wife's Expedition, California only allows 55 ft. trailers.

[twistsol]

He must have a heck of a truck and trailer to get that to the cabin on weekends.

[LCHIEN]

there's probably rod holders on one or the other of the 30-foot tenders a ship like that usually carries.
