I'll help if we can build a duplicate too!!! I'd take a Willys MB over the Bugatti though, or a Schwimmwagen...

Well two monoblock amps will set you back about $100k. A top end turntable, about $130k. Preamp about $50k. Cables to hook it all up $20k. SACD player $20k. And the Wilson speakers? I think they go for over $100k too. Small chunk of change.

Oh and for an idea of the ridiculousness of the build standards, the finish of the speakers is guaged to 1/10,000th of an inch and the turntable platter and plinth weigh about 150lbs.

Mariner III, she measures 116' x 18' x 13' x 8' draft. Anyone up for a cruise around the Carribean?

Either of you guys ever sailed on the open ocean? Those power yachts are very unstable uncomfortable in any kind of heavy seas, they are mainly good for sailing around in coastal waters. (with a bunch of girls) 8)

if you want to cruise around the Caribbean or any longer distance you need something more like this.

sure if you have 25 friends to help you set the sails...

The "Ketch" rig on the pic I posted can be sailed by one person, 2 or maybe 3 people needed only to raise the sails.

{of course maybe you are planning to take 25 playboy bunnies to climb the rigging in their bikini's to set the sails....}

Just the ONE battleship..??

Would love to see the faces on people, if these girls came steaming into Pearl Harbor....

Colorado (BB-45), Maryland (BB-46), and West Virginia (BB-48.), followed by Tennessee (BB-43) and three older battleships.
