Agreed SB!


Pete, that Palm Beach style dayboat, teaked out, with the front/rear settees...and the doll-baby teak rocket ...who is the builder?

Thanks....and thanks for the great pics

Remember the Police tune..."So Lonely"...

Thanks for the pics - almost like being there!  

I think Luxembourg is land-locked, so how can that mega get a Port of Call from there?  

Diamonds are Forever - but you bank account won't be!   :twisted:

Albury is an absolute Flatback rip off...    :tongue:

Check out the bow flare on that Scout - Carolina plus-plus!  

Is it my imagination, or does it just seems like 3-5 VRods on the transom have become normal?

Wait until you start to see 3-5 557s...
