What do you drive?

A surgeon about a half hour from here has a $750k Cigar boat. I've never been on it (or within a hundred feet of it), but that thing is the meanest looking boat i've ever seen. He traded his sailboat on it (that was another huge, beautiful boat) 2 summers ago.

Nice days in june/july/august, him and his friends like to race around Herron Island (about a mile long), and the sound that comes from them is nothing short of earth shattering.

I dont know the guy, never talked to him, but I do know a student who works at his marina that said a 1300$ fillup lasts him less then 4 hours.

Oh, no doubt. On the Sea Ray it takes about that much to fill up one of the two tanks. BUT, filling both tanks will last half a summer at the rate that the boat is used. The Sea Ray pictured has 2 Caterpiller turbo deisels. So they sip fuel a little better than a gas running Cig boat. I don't want to know how much fuel Mike's boat uses, i'd probably shit a brick. Because he runs his almost every week.

Im no thief, but if I was gonna steal a vehicle/toy for a night, I think that would be the one.

But.. Only because i'd have an Enzo wrecked within blocks.

Nice vessals !! Wish I could afford something like that...man I love boats like that !!

I can only imagine what's all around the Great Lakes...I mean there are some nice boats on Lake Norman here and although it's a decent size for a lake it's still just a pond or even a puddle compared to that.

Now when visiting Ft. Lauderdale/Miami...OMG !!!!!! *drool*

I hear you. I used to go down every year to visit him, now days seems I'm always swamped and haven't been in a few years. I have to find time soon.
I don't know what is more impressive the eye candy on the boats or the sound of the engines as they idle by. he lives just close enough to open water you can hear it when they leave the "channel" and open 'em up. OMG!!!!
I'm hoping to step up to something in the 21-23 foot range next year but I'd love to score just a ride on one of those cigarettes one day.
