That's a cool boat. I wonder how much it costs per month to park it. A friend of my dad's had a 54ft yacht, and it was costing him the equivelant of a small mortgage payment to keep it in a harbor.

Think about what it costs to actually take that thing anywhere. Even small (less than 30 ft) powerboats get less than a mile per gallon......imagine what this mofo must eat up on a one hour cruise. Marine fuel is expensive as hell to boot.

I'm surprised he didn't build a Roman-style galley and just pay a few hundred bums to row the thing. Probably cheaper than fuel and lower maintenance 😉

 
228' is nothing.

Theres a couple 400' + mega yachts being built in Europe(I believe ones being built in Germany, I forget where the other one is being built). One is said to be Steve Ballmers.

The largest Yacht is owned by Turkey and is 408' long and travels at 21 knots. You can buy it outright for $28million(Its 70 years old), or lease it.

Norman's new yacht is about the 35th largest in the world. Not bad for a golfer.

Someone mentioned islands. Islands are cheap to buy($300,000-$20million), expensive to set up.

I've always wanted an island. Wonder who I'd talk to.

Dude. The thing is 228 FEET LONG. Moving something that big at almost 20mph is pretty damn good.

I dunno, they move Nimitz class carriers at greater than 30 knots.

And it takes at least 200 mechanics on shift rotation to allow for that speed. Oh... and the nuclear reactors and multi screws help some too.

 
According to www.pgatour.com Greg Norman has only won 13 million in carreer prize money. I guess he makes a lot on endorsments. I didn't think it was that much though considering he doesn't hardly ever win anyone.
 
Look, its a boat. You can stand on it and stay afloat on water. I'd rather flush 70 million dollars down the toilet 1 dollar bill at a time.

Yeah, but rowing unions don't allow for the whippings that the Romans enjoyed. Plus, rowing quotas are halved and then there is the union fees. 😉
 
Nice yacht...must be nice to have a few extra dollars to spend. Heck, just last week I actually bought the brand-name Doritos instead of the store brand "Corn Chips" that cost 1/4th what the Doritos Brand cost. I'm getting my yacht next week. 😉

One thing puzzled me though:

Accomodates 14 crew and 12 passengers

That's it? 26 people? I mean, I'm sure that ship has a ballroom that can accomodate 500 people, but only sleep 26? Heck....for that much money, I want beds, man. 😀

ps
That chick doesn't like Tiger Woods. She likes his wallet. If you had a fat wallet like Tiger you'd be shagging Miss Ivana Humpalot too.
