Is this a Historic Hull ??

[Ratickle]

Naw, that's why it wasn't put in the historic section.


I think you should buy it, move it to Key West and live on it while you remodel it into the Bobcat Lair of the Keys!!!

I like Benettis, there was one moored up on Union Bay in Seattle back in the '80s - down the dock was a 70' Posilipo that I jonesed on for years. Both were very cool boats.

I think it fits Bobcat's personality and lifestyle. He has all the skills needed to finish it into a great lair....

[Donskihp]

Bobcat I think you could probably float it with a couple of old truck tubes.

Now if the members here would step up, that would make a nice headquarters for both HORBA and Serious.

We could move it to Florida and throw some outboards....maybe 10 or 15 of them on a two story bracket.

[fund razor]

Interesting idea. Maybe save a couple outboards and hang them from the bow as thrusters.

[old377guy]

Somewhere on youtube that has to be somebody (kind of a Red and Green show deal) using outboards or trolling motors for thrusters - you've got me thinking John.

We'd have to use 4-stroke outboards though to make sure we were up to date on Green for the environment and to keep up with the expectations people would have for a Benetti yacht......

I wonder what the cruising speed would be with 10 300HP Verados?

[Ratickle]

If Bobcat really does a good job, it could look like this latest Benetti when he was done...

Faster than with 6

Well, we know that the stucco work would be impeccable

[Ratickle]

Too much stucco and it may not float.....
