Already I`m lusting


After another boat. Not satisfied with my new (to me) stinkpot? I find myself looking longingly at this example of the US design and Tailand built beauty, wondering why a stinkpot ? and then I have to think about practicalities and Ho Hum, a stink pot is to be my final boat :o(( after all they burn so much better in a viking funeral dont they? :o((

Lovely, Orb. Thai-built? or Taiwanese? I saw a lot of beautiful Taiwanese-built boats last year. Ave Maria was one of them. He got a good deal on that. $75,000!!

'Viking Funeral' ha ha ha ha ha.
p.s My nickname at Froggies Bar in Mexico last year was Maria La Vikinga because there were many marias in the 'hood.

Hi Mmmmmm. Tiawanese I believe
( my mistake) This one is on the market for £90K but has osmosis ( you can see the bubbles and the bleed marks forward of the prop)and I guess a prospective buyer would expect a considerable reduction for such works? but to my mind she is a great boat and one I`d love to own :o((

My brother already has his Viking funeral planned... he has the boat the body of water (on his ranch) his friends are prepared... everything. My sister and I are to light him up when that day comes. His friends will be busy burning one in his memory.

Wow Jomamma That sound pretty serious, I know there isn`t a God and that we are but frequencies holding particles togeather so that our "self" can function, so the action of burning purely returns us to Carbon (the base accolite) quicker than decomposition, we still go on and on and on!

Will they throw in those fantastic boat stands too? Wow. Boats stands built in Middle Earth. New Hobbit industry!

Truth is Maria was given the name after the path of death and destruction she left here when she escaped back to Japan.
