I'm pretty partial to this one:
Alpha Z

But anything Vandam builds is amazing.

But then these rich people then go and spoil it all by having an ugly thing like this built...(it's the late Steve Jobs ship)

Chris Craft built a simmilar styled boat in 1955 IIRC. Their first use of Fiberglass and it was only used to build the car like rear hatch

Wow that's nice. What do you think something like that would sell for?

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, and I guess I need more beer because as much as I like wood boats, that one just doesn't do it for me...

On a side note, I've never seen macrame fenders before--

So far I'll take any of 'em. Even that boat that Jobs helped designed will surprise you when you start looking at it more closely.

That is a really neat lookin' boat KFA. Helps understand the term "boattail."

Re: Most beautiful power boat ever.

here is where you will find great boats; most are sailing vessels and wooden boats. No sofa boats.

me im partial to the barrelbacks and twin cockpits.motor would have to be original style such as a scripps v12 or god forbid a hispano-suiza .they were works of art as much as the boat was.a few hundred grand might get you a nice one.

Very nice boat! I'd be afraid to take that work of art out!
