It sounds like a speed demon with camouflaged styling.

Looks like an interesting yacht! Love your shot and the description! It must cost a small fortune just to start it up! Beautiful! V You know now that I think about it - I think my father-in-law had the little sister of this boat. It was built around 1970, 16 feet of stamped aluminum hull, reinforced stern, riveted reinforced seat frames with a well. He got it off a pile of boats in front of a GEM department store! Picked up a 3 hp outboard and a trailer. Fished lakes all over The Rockies Then in saltwater all along the entire west coast! To his surprise and dismay it sank 40 something years later! I think someone in the family may have sculled it! (Thank you to that dirty rotten son of a sea hag from the bottom of our scuppers!) I think it got pulled back up and someone gave him $8 for the lot! Easy come, easy go! Hope you had a good weekend Walter!

A beautiful image of this one of a kind yacht. Honestly I can’t comprehend what it would take to own and operate this on a personal leval. V

The statistics and capabilities are impressive. To use it as a yacht is overkill but if you want to impress your friends what's $80 million.

Wow, impressive, imagine the bill to fill her up!
