Bob, I'm surprised you even looked at that one - it doesn't seem to have a helipad:

I didn't want to be too splashy extravagant. This one makes a big enough splash as it is.
BTW, negotiations have hit a little snag at this point. The owner is taking some ridiculous "business" trip and his rep doesn't have the stripes to make most decisions for him.
So we wait but it isn't really boating season here anyway.

So the deal is officially OFF.
Just couldn't come to terms with a few last minute attempts to add to the rather high costs for this jewel.
I was almost ready to hire the flatbed truck to bring her to our good waters but as "they" say, there are more fish in the sea.
( who is this they people? )

That's too bad. But now you can go for the Sunseeker Predator mentioned by Jay...

...and alternatively, you should have enough funds collected to buy this instead.

I know...I know... its not as "nice" as the one you desired, BUT... it is still ALL white, (so its still respectable!)

Obviously you don't have much experience in negotiating ...

So, how much did you pay, Chris?

[BobH]

Love the names on the dinghy and yacht!

A lot of us independent software engineers were well funded by change orders, back in the day!

Now that was downright nasty!

So?

Where did you stash the loot, or have you "blown" it all on slow-living and low-times?

[ChrisGreaves]

Bob, as well as a splash of colour, you might also want to consider just a trifle larger outboard motor!

Huh? I thought what was hanging off the back was the Martini Stirrer, air-drying after heavy use ...

Yeah, nice but I'm not a "rag" sailor. The rag sailors call us "stink pot" sailors. (Just trying to be fair in this name calling game.)
Left my info with a few trusted dealers, so we will see what come around. If not, I hear that kyacking is becoming popular?

Amateur imbiber talking, there Chris.
You don't stir or even shake a martini. You just disturb the surface of the Gin or Vodka a touch.

Even a smaller boat is still really nice. It dont have to be a 100m long yacht. :) Although I wouldnt throw one away if I had one :D

It has never been a secret that the Lounge income is a nice round figure...

Had to think about it to realize it was Zero $

[HansV]

Yep, it has always been that way!
