That's not much boat for a quarter of a million, at least in my book.

2 questions...
1 Where are the rod holders and 2 can I mount a propane grill?

I would still like a cat sorta like that . . . Nice ride, but agree, for $250K you could get one bad arse WorldCat 320 Express Hardtop with $100K left over to give to charity . . .

I'd never give him $250,000 for that rig. The highest I'd go would be $245,000. Maybe there is balast down in the hold made of pure gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scratching my head (Scratch Scratch), you would let $5000 be the deal breaker on that boat? Especially when you are talking a couple hundred thousand dollars.

The boat has all the bells and whistles, it would be nice to see a list of prices for all the goodies on that rig.

I don't know if it's the lighting or what, but both sides of the bow seem to be damaged...

You know now that you mentioned that, when I looked at it it looked like something was wrong in the bow area.

Nice ride! You're paying for a lot of design and modifications I'd bet is why it's so much. A bit underpowered maybe?? 500 ponies is respectable but I bet that beast is HEAVY. 25 knots tops.

Re: $250,000 aluminum boat outboard, a little overbuilt

Yeah, I noticed bow damage as well . . .

Re: $250,000 aluminum boat outboard, a little overbuilt

But I wonder...does it ride and handle like a Crown Vic? And is it towable with the average squad car?

I don't like looks of the welds, they look too boogery like done by an amature. Look like mig welds? I think the distorted bow is from the heat of welding the bulkheads which you can see right where they are.

I worry anytime I see an Ichthus in a companies logo or advertising.
When I see something like that or the salesman tells me within five minutes that he is a Christian, I reach for my wallet to see if it is still there. It appears to me that those who use such methods are trying to make a buck off of God. I think that if they have to use something like that then they are most likely not offering the best service. If they do a good job and honor God, then their religion will eventually come up as the customer will be well pleased and want to know why the producer is better than average.

A quarter of a mill will buy a lot of patrol boat. I wonder what the Coasties think of the design? I am trying to see how it could be used in civilian life. With no overnight accomodations how can it be better than a much lower priced deep V fishing boat?

Maybe the owner is Greek and a fisherman?
