20' 93 Chaparral w/4.3 inboard for wasting gas (doesn't get used much lately) and an 88 aluminum Grumman with a 40 horse Johnson for fishing. Both are parked on Lake Semonole in the southwest corner of Ga.

1998 ChrisCraft 21' open bow with a 5L Penta. It's sad, as it's sitting next to the garage after sucking up something awhile ago and taking out the impeller and causing it to overheat. Melted lines, wires. Big mess.

My current boss just had his sailboat built in Turkey.
It's called the "Maltese Falcon".
Supposedly it's the largest privately-owned sailing yacht in the world at 290 feet.
Personally, I'd rather have one of those boats like lenny1carl has.
A bit more manageable.

2001 16' Crestliner Fishawk. Got a 75Hp honda marine engine hanging off the transom. A lot of world problems get solved while navigating the delta in that thing. Catch fish occasionally too.
Ben, nice boat. Who's your boss? Bill Gates?

) or the Maltese Falcon?Hopefully he'll bring the Maltese Falcon to the S.F. Bay, though it's registered and berthed in Malta. If that happens, I may have a very slim to slight chance to catch a ride. That would be sooo cool.
Oh yea. It has two 1,800 hp Deutz engines that turn at only 1,800rpm. Crazy.
