You are bidding on the reserve price to purchase this boat at the agreed price of $100000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars).
It's currently being restored and will be offered at $100000 USD.


It started as an idea from the owner to build a unique boat that will be an icon for many years to come.
Back in the 90's, it was a company called Sonic Jet Performance who built a theme Ferrari boat based on the 360 design. Only 4 were made.
Mr Albert MARDIKIAN was at the helm of the company
Then in 2007, Mr MARDIKIAN decided to go bigger and bolder with this Ferrari F430 Design when he was President and Chief Design Engineer for Harbor Guard Boat.
There is one only that has been ever manufactured by Harbor Guard Boat.

It's powered by a Mercury 502 MPI with 4 (four) hours of use.

This boat has been in my private collection and has been featured in just few selected show. The rest of the time, she was garaged.

Now, the final selling price is set at $100000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars).
You are bidding on the right to reserve this boat for just $10000 (Ten Thousands Dollars).
The remaining balance will be $90000 (Ninety Thousands Dollars).

The boat is currently going a full restoration and will be delivered mid February.

It actually says sold on the ebay listing. I cannot see how that is possible, unless someone thought they were purchasing the entire boat for $10000, not the option to buy it for $100000 for $10000.....

This is the way to set it up as an insurance loss eventually by building 'value' and then maybe a bribed surveyor or two after this. A Mr. Albert Mardikian have had nothing but unseaworthy boat designs since he got into it 20 years ago. The most well known one was the Sonic Jet 360 'cause of it's 'special' looks. The 'rescue' boats he made under the name Harbor Guard boats were even more unsuccessful. Enjoy the video of this comical fire rescue boat and a photo of the "Pininfarina inspired" Sonic Jet 360 in Ferrari rosso :)

That is damn funny. I think I would be able to have about as much effect by peeing off the boat!!!!!!
