I think if every member on Anandtech puts in 20 bucks we can have it.

But it does need some work.

Anyone know how to handle a yacht?
My time in the Navy was mostly spent chipping and painting.
And I dont think lead based paint is used on civilian yachts.

too bad madoka and child of wonder aren't still here, they could pay for half of it

Buying is just the first part. Where's the berth? Who's got fuel? Maintenance on a 45ft Hatteras gets old, fast. And expensive. A 100 foot party boat that needs work? yeah no

Rental is the way to go. Let the outfit provide the crew, focus on having fun. Boats are great, but taking care of them in a salt water environment can be tedious as shit.

I think Shorty already volunteered to scrape and paint, so that takes care of one of the maintenance problems.

You think scraping and painting is maintenance?

OK, you arent invited.

SaltyNuts is rich. He can buy it and drive it to China to pick up a container load of KNO3.

I would prefer buying a bunch of those one euro villas in Greece & Italy.

And I thought the title was about a group buy of a RealDoll (tm)... LOL!

This won't end well. Reminds me of this story:

The disastrous voyage of Satoshi, the world’s first cryptocurrency cruise ship

The long read: Last year, three cryptocurrency enthusiasts bought a cruise ship. They named it the Satoshi, and dreamed of starting a floating libertarian utopia. It didn’t work out

Howard Stern had a dude on his show who makes the Real Dolls and that guy claimed with measurements and a scan (I think) they could make anyone.
Maybe a Mod Real Doll or Salty Nuts Real Doll?

I'm in for two shares at $20 a piece. But I would like to have a title, like First Officer.

What does a First Officer do?

Let me guess, you only found that listing because you searched "Bottom Job" on the Google.

Now that doesn't sound very good at all.

I'm sure that thing has a kitchen (galley?). I'll hang out there. Ponyo can run it.

Too much freeboard to be a fishing boat. Plus, that full second deck makes overhead casting impossible. No bait tanks or refrigerated fish storage either.

A motor yacht needs to be luxurious and that ship needs a lot of upgrades to be anywhere near luxurious.

Oh and it would cost $56,000 just to refill the fuel tanks.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I can probably help convert the whole thing to wind and solar. I hear wind powered boats are the new in thing these days.

We can make our money back shipping explosives around the world.

I passed the Wisconsin Boaters Safety course in 1990. So, I used to know some of the knots needed and how you need to set up navigation lights, and what the different markers mean...
Something like that looks like it would be a decent bluewater boat, 15000 gallons of diesel .. would cost a LOOOT of $$$$ to fuel up, but, should have enough range to handle Pacific crossings. Would be awesome to get something like that with a group of like 10 people and explore the world.

I was thinking something more like a longboat. Zero fuel cost, and environmental, but hold on in storms! They can definitely do oceanic voyages.

I'd rather get this built and spend like 2 months touring the western US every summer
