So basically I'm saying if you could afford it. Because if someone gave me my dream boat, I couldn't even afford to gas it up...LOL :D
If you could own and operate any boat in the world, what would it be?
No question in my mind, it would be an MTI with twin 575s as the minimum. Probably in the 39-42 length, full wrap around canopy, but not enclosed. I could say twin 1500s, but I would want the thing reliable and usable. :) Color, I'm pretty open on. I have seen everything from yellow with purple to all white that I like. In a boat that big, I think a little flash would be ok.
IMHO, they are the end all of high performance boats.
I like Skaters too, but I feel the MTI is just a notch above.
Come on wifey... start making some dough :)
Here are a few I like. Mostly the 39's

That boat I am thinking wouldn't even make it to a lake. I would want a yacht with a rear bay for another boat and skis. A helo pad would be nice too.

Either a 46' Skater or Tencara with turbines and BPM drives.

A big 'ol 3 masted sailboat with a crew of lovelies to sail it around the world. No fuel required, just go with the flow..........Coconuts and pineapples all around......Jamacian rum and Cuban cigars, deserted islands, south in the winter and north in the summer, 365 sun filled days, and star lit nights, no smog, no traffic, no boundries..............MP

That sounds like fun. Although, I think would like to have the MTI delivered to where ever I'm headed then drive it around island to island while I'm there...LOL

A 22' Donzi Classic with a 460 Ford. I like to keep my goals realistic. I'm also not a huge fan of the huuuge boats that are good at nothing besides going fast. I also wouldn't mind having my Tahiti restored to mint condition with a 200 E-Tec on it...

Come on.....no Deep Vee fans?
39 Cigarette Top Gun or the Skater 39 Vee with the NXT's set up would suffice.
