    I had to do it in CT back in 1993 or so. They didn't grandfather anyone. My favorite part, and I don't give CT politicians credit for much, was that to get the jet ski license you had to take the boating course AND then the jet ski course. I thought that was a particularly brilliant strategy against the scourge of the waterways.

    I think this video really shows their speed. Looks like a solid 40 knots and Team Emirates NZ says they can do 50 knots. Hell, I start getting white knuckled at 18 knots.

    Oh yeah! The world’s most expensive and most luxurious submarine-superyacht hybrid. Named after an albino whale. But what makes it special and impressive? Not only is Migaloo submarine/yacht, but also it is more like a floating city. Moreover, it boasts a 3-meter swimming pool, cinema room, helipad, library, gym, laundry room, and private lounges, elevator shafts, it a means to maneuver the levels, a two-level owner’s suite, eight VIP-suites, and a spacious over-bridge pass. Migaloo Submersible Yacht costs an arm and a leg -$2.3 billion, which makes it the jewel in the crown, compared to other private submarines.

    Trying to fill the hole left by Seven? The real question is how many can you clip on to the back of a boat?

    Those will sell. With no need for the entire casing to move, they can squeeze them onto more boats.
    65 ft CC anyone? It's coming.

    ^^ Some slick boat driving. "Everybody wants to be captain until there's captain stuff to do" is a great line. I wonder what those swells are 20'? 25'? Yikes. They must have had a good reason for trying that under those conditions.

    Damn that's impressive. I have no interest in piloting big ships. Small boats for me please.

    Somehow I knew that was going to be that St. Paul vid. Sometimes I miss the Bering.

    I was going to post this. It looks like you need a training course in how to run it. Fuck me, turn the key and give me a control box...

    Thank god for laundered drug $$ and corrupt American capitalisms, or poor Brunswick couldn't sell of of these necessary motors

    Pretty awesome all the innovation they put into this one. Looks like a hog as the ass, the side view is much nicer though. It will be interesting to see who mounts these as soon as they are available to repower customers. Just about every go-fast day boater is going to be dropping the 450r they have and mounting one of these The best part of this motor might be the supposed ease of maintenance.

    It’s cool how the top of the motor is always stationary and the only the propeller housing turns

    Boat Porn!

    This thread delivers btw. Not to hijack too bad buuuuuut......

    Anybody else mash the lyrics of the super silly “I’m on a boat” up against the super serial and sensitive music of “souther cross”
    (I don’t mind either FTR)

    (K it’s like to the tune of southern cross but with like these lyrics, or whichever you make up.,)

    Look at me mutha fukah
    Cuz I’m on a boat
    89 feet on the waterline
    Nicely making way

    You can’t stop me now
    Because I’m on a boat
    Heeling 34 degree
    While we cried and we lied

    And we wailed
    And we failed

    But now I’m out sailing
    And I’m on a boat

    Doing five knots
    Wind whipping at my coat

    I saw a constellation
    That defies
    my supposed BEARING!!!

    Look at me mutha fucker
    Cuz I’m on a boat

    Got a guitar
    Not a turntable
    While On my boat

    You can’t stop me now
    How how how how how

    I have been arou
    Round round the world!!

    You think you can stop me
    But im on a boat
