If you won the lotto...

[gotboostedvr6]

Lets say 300,000,000.00 is what you won you would take home 60% or 180 mil would you live modestly and never work again or live it up and buy alot of shit for yourself, best friends/ family and never work again.

off topic but if you could pick any 2 boats to own what would they be? including accessories/ power rigging. only stipulations would be they have to be less then 50 ft.

[riverracerx]

[djunkie]

I'd keep working at my current job. Just not very much. :D

[djunkie]

Any big diesel powered cruiser for the ocean and a 28 Bullet with a big motor for the river. :D :D

[whiteworks]

I would buy every second of air time for the superbowl and throw a kickass superbowl party that is televiesd and played during every commercial break and half time, all ***boat brothers and sisters would be invited:D I would take work off monday to recover and then go on about my life the way it is.

[BADBLOWN572]

If I hit the loto, I would definitely buy a bunch of property. Probably purchase 5-6 large commercial buildings and throw enough down that they would be positive from the start. Have them paid off in 10-20 years. Hopefully be receiving a VERY nice steady income after that. Probably buy a house in Parker and a nice house somewhere in O.C. After that, it would be on a case by case basis.
One thing that I would love to do is to pay for someone's college education who can't pay for it themselves. Some of my family members did it. They would pay for a student for 4 years of college 100% provided that they maintained a 3.5gpa and was going to school full time. They got to choose the students on the criteria that they felt was important. All that they asked from the students, was that if they were ever in the same position, financially, that they would do it for someone else. :) It worked!
When it comes to the boats of my dreams, I would have one ocean boat and one lake boat. For the lake boat, I would have one of our DCM's with a 700+cid engine in it that is naturally aspirated and all under the hatch. V-drive with all of the best hardware on it. :)

For the ocean, I would have a 50' Mystic with twin turbine engines in it.

I think I stand a 100x better chance of getting hit by lightning! :( It is a dream though!!! :) I also don't think that I could ever justify having well over $1M in boats. That is why it would be a dream and not reality. :)

[boatsnblondes]

I would pay off every bill I, my family, and my wife's family owe, then make sure we never stress again....:)

[YeLLowBoaT]

I would pay off every bill I, my family, and my wife's family owe, then make sure we never see them again....:)
fixed.
I would give alot away...Plenty of charitys and orgs that could really put it to good use.
Other then that, I would buy a small plot of land some where... 50-100 acres, and build a good sized( when I say build I mean with my 2 hands), but not over the top house. ( say 3k-3.5k sq ft) and a big ass shop/ barn. In the shop I would build a 60 ish foot long sail boat.

[Mattman]

I would buy everybody on HB a tow rig like Magic 34's.:D

[socalmoney]

I would start a ***boat reality show.

[bonesfab]

I'd open a ***boat halfway house for all the addicts on the boards. just think of all the river trips you could right off...:D :D

[Cas]

keep our house and boat, probably get a new truck and buy this
Lassen Pines Camp (http://www.campforsale.net/index.html)
We'd live there and run a couple of summer camp programs for kids, maybe build a few small cabins for romantic destination for people that want to get away in the winter....lots of options.

['75 Miller]

I'd hire the sheistiest tax lawyers in the country and try to screw the mafia, I mean government out of their "cut".
They'd just waste it anyway.

[Classic Daycruiser]

First I'd rescue all of Vicks dogs and make sure they got a good home, then I'd rescue all of rapper DMX's dogs, and make sure they got a good home. :idea:
:idea:

[boats&bars]

Id Buy Jerry Herbst pad in newport along with everything tied to it.
oh and Id lock up mike vics dogs in his cellone at a time and let them go to town on his sorry ass.

[Nord]

I would put parker on Layaway.............

[Fast Freddy]

i would get a home loan.......

[photo chick]

I would set up an account for the cat park so they would no longer worry about money. Pay off my brother and mom's bills, buy bro the boat of his dreams. Put money away for my niece and nephew's college fund. Get out of Texas!!! Buy a house in Costa Rica then buy one of these and go racing....:D I can dream!!!

[Kyote]

I would hire someone to write the 'friken' essay

[OnlyMoney]

We JUST discussed this on our way home...to keep from getting groggy. :)
First of all, we'd rent out Little Palm Island in Florida while the attorney handled things. Invite fam/friends out that want to join us.
On his list was the megayacht in Florida...we gotta cruise the Keys. Maybe a small house on Star Island to moor it at.
I started by giving my parents at least $500k so they could retire now. Also kick in the cost of adding an RV garage to their retirement home in Page (Lake Powell).
Then there was the big penthouse at one of the high rise loft projects out here in Vegas...gotta have the NV tax benefit.
We need a cool weather area to hang out, so we thought Jackson Hole would be good. Part of the land would be for my "dog sanctuary" for all the big dogs that have a bad rep and go to the shelter....let them be FREEEE! :)
We thought about buying a house in Maui, but then we figured we could just join Abercrombie & Kent and then we could have access to many beautiful homes and the private jet.
Then we got off topic. Hope that helps! :)

[phebus]

It would totally change my life. I would go from an asshole, to a rich asshole. :D

[OnlyMoney]

relax for awhile;) then buy all the land i could arround me(i love it here)then a bigger ass shop then i have:D and a 55MTI CAT to play on powell(so i could out run "ONLY$:D )THEN TAKE CARE OF FAMILY/FREINDS then relax for awhile;) i have 50$ in quikpicks:D

with 180 million why limit yourself to a 50 foot boat? i would have a custom yatch that was at least 200 feet long and worth at least 50 million. as far as a second boat is concerned i would resurrect apache boats and build me a custom 50 foot apache worth at least 2 million and a top speed of 100 mph. but if i could only have one boat then i would build a modern day version of the gentry eagle that at 112' long had a top speed of 73 mph with her 11,500 hp and crossed the atlantic ocean in 62 hours and 7 minutes.

[socalmofo]

Save it and live off the interest.....Say 8%, 14.4mil/year sounds good and still have the 180Mil in the bank.

Would you race the gentry at the poker run?:D

[Mrs. 20]

I would help Tims parents retired now. We would quit working in construction. I would try to get into long term investments like real estate. I guess my main goal would be to keep things stable and build steady wealth that would also be there for my kids and their kids.
And I would get a bigger boat.:D

[coolchange]

I'd buy a big boat for sure. Then a bigger boat. Then lots of smaller boats. Then I'd have to buy houses on the water to keep them at. Then hire a bunch of honeys to maintain them. Then hire a bunch of babes to stay at the houses so there was always a party when I got there.
The rest I would probably just waste!!
I was with some truly high dollar people last week at Pebble Beach. Hard to even imagine that kind of money. One guy went for coffe. Asked if anyone wanted anything. (man did I blow it!) Came back with a picture. Of a car. Maserati. $125,000. That he bought on a whim. When he went for coffee.:sqeyes:

[sleekcraft80]

First things first. Pay off my debts. Take care of my family and close friends. get rid of my house and buy something nice in havi. Build my retirement house in Fort Mohave. RETIRE and ENJOY. Oh and get my Sleekcraft in tiptop shape. Maybe find a hottie and get hitched

[vee-driven]

I would have all the biggest and baddest toys, a new girlfriend everytime i got a boner and probably be in jail in no time.

[mobldj]

i would finally have enough for the threesome i want with havistank and easykiller....lol

[YODA]

Can you put 180 mil in a bank? Or just buy the bank.

I'd raffle that stuff off at the superbowl party:D

[Magic34]

Trust Fund...
Let's say you got $150 mil clear. I would go on a $20 mil spending spree, but then set up the $130m in a trust fund with myself controlling the assets of the fund until I died.
I would set up my life to where I could suvive on $5m/year. I know, it would be tough. :D
You can earn a safe 8% on bonds with the $130m. That leads to about $10million per earn in interest earnings. Now, the trust has to conitnue building as well, so 25% of the earnings would be reinvested into the trust, so the first years alone, about $2.5m would be added into the trust bringing it up to $132.5m. It would grow, and grow, and my family would always be taken care of from that point forward.
This is how all the big boys with money play it.
This is also why you see a lot of the big dollar houses being bought in the name of the trust. The trust buys them, and then the trust benefits when the owner sells and makes a profit.
Magic34 <----- Still trying to be a trust fund kid :D

I think that if you set up a charitable trust, if you give away a Percentage of earnings, you can leave it to heirs tax free after So many years. Not sure of all the facts and %s here but its out there. At least till Hilliary gets the White House.

If you want a boat that big and take it to places like Powell, you better hope it would be worthy to be called a transformer because the boat is going to need to fold up in half to make it anywhere on the roads.
