Yacht for Sale = 122 ft'r. Price = $2.8M

Barnacles dont matter. They scrape right off. You may need to do a bottom paint job, but no big deal, unless you have blisters so big that the padding in the fiberglass of the hull has been compromised. Then you have big worries.

Whether he is financing or not, there is no way to know the value unless he gets that inspection.

Damn, sounds like a fine yacht. Invite me to a party if you buy it. =-)

As an aside, once the kids are out of the house, we plan to spend the better part of our time on the boat in Freeport. He will at least love the trip down there.

Well barnacles are a pain the ass. They actually have to have the boat lifted out of the water, scraped off, power washed, sanded down and then repainted and dried before putting back in the water. Overall, barnacle is the cheapest "worst case" scenario"

This boat should be going for about 8-10M+ based on the description. Which leads me to believe the engine and mechanical aspects must have been restored by a high school car mechanic shop class.

75 foot is a major yacht. 122 is getting into mega-yacht territory. Let me ask you, does he hire a crew to take it out? When you get up over 55-60 feet, you can't just take it into any port/marina you choose, and getting fuel will not be as easy either. At 122 ft., I would assume he is going to have to take a crew. Do you two like that?

he has 3 on call crew that he uses now (rotating) for his current boat. Mostly either cleaning or cooking. He has a pilot license, but sometimes has a captain if we are entertaining on it.

Thing is this new boat would be an ideal investment at that price if he were to hold it for a while and then resale higher. But there is simply no way that boat is dry and moving at the price they listed.

I am guessing you are basically buying spare parts to chop up.

wtf aap... you buying the freaking titanic or something? LOL.... a boat for 6million?

hey wanna marry me? we don't even have to have sex

Girl, I ain't buying shit.

If I had that kind of money I would have it sitting in investments living off the interest.

Yeah, I know about the bottom painting. I just had that done. On a 45 ft boat, having the bottom scraped and painted was only about $3k, so that is not that big of a deal. But it will cost more to pull your boat out and keep it in a marina while they are doing it, than it did for my smaller boat. Now, you know that just because you have barnacles doesn't necessarily mean you need a bottom job done. You just have to look if you have blistering. You can just scrape them off the hull, otherwise.

Yeah, the boat is underpriced. Hopefully, it is underpriced for cosmetics, but I doubt it. If it is engines or the integrity of the boat, that is more serious. I can't imagine why it is so underpriced. Who knows? Your partner may get a steal.

If there is nothing that wrong with it and you get it at that price, I'm going to pull my hair out with envy here...lol.

Exactly.

I am guessing the fuel tanks have water in them or something.

 

[heatherrae]

fuel tanks having water wouldn't be that bad. my guess is that it has been flooded.
