WOW!! That's a nice boat!!

 

[jgtcnsx]

a friend of mines dad just bought a yaht, it had to 8.0 liter v10 engines on it, the boat was amazing.

 

[DrVolkl]

Is it just me, or does that seem a little pricey for a 45ft boat?
I'd be thinking more around 2-300k.

 

[zahntech]

yeah that seems way more money than a 45 ft boat should cost, A friend of mine works at a yard that only works on yachts and he was showing me a 70ft vessel with dual huge diesels and 2 cabins +huge galley and dining room for 1.6 mil brand new.

 

[cmhs75]

why are yachts so expensive? I mean what exactely costs so much in them? the engine? or what?

 

[rickysals]

it may be the demand.

see other thread of most expensive houses. Other articles on Forbes talk about how $1,000,000 won't buy you ANY home in Aspen, because of high demand, and low supply.

as for boats... I don't get it?

 

[4AU4LIFE]

I didn't even know Toyota made boats.
Just a big money pit in the water.

Lol!

More than you can afford pal, Toyota.

Haha... nice pun in regards to "Fast & The Furious"

DumbWhyteBoi: "How much was retail on that?"

Arrogant_H'woodType: "More than you can afford pal, Ferrari."

Buff-Meathead_Ricer: "Smoke him."


Yachts are generally made-to-order, not exactly the most efficient means of production (ex. vs. Henry Ford, assembly-line/Model_T). Think of American Chopper (OCC) or West Coast Chopper (w/ Jesse James) on DISCOVERY, how labor intensive the construction, assembly, fabrication, finishing is. Alot of these vessels are 'bespoke', meaning personalised & original.

hmmm, but I still see an excessive cost on anything marine made. I think Jetskies are mass produced but are they are still pretty expensive compared to cars or even bikes.

The two best days for a boat owner are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. I had a 33' ocean race sail boat. Owning that boat was like standing in a cold shower and tearing up hundred dollar bills.

On the day of the sea trial for the new owner, it was fantastic. What a wonderful day. Then I regained my senses and remembered why I was selling it. It's smarter to charter.
