Porsche Boat?

Does Porsche really make boats?:party-smiley-004:

Like it says, Porsche Design did the design, for a company called Fearless Yachts.
The boats are built at the Donzi factory using a unique construction method. The boat is moulded in two halves, that join at the centreline. It uses design cues from the Carrera GT, and has a cool looking cockpit. No cabin...but if you pay 350K for a 28 footer, you´ve got plenty of places to spend the night, elsewhere.
First boat had a red painted 525EFi.
Boat comes in any colour you like as long as it is silver.
A swim platform folds out at the back, when you need it.

Saw it at the Chicago Boat Show. Nice looking ride...very smooth lines. They had it on a trailer behind a Cayenne. Problem was...show special price was $300,000....and across the aisle was a $387,000 Top Gun. Gimme the Gun becuz sometimes water is rough!

I saw this boat today .....didn't know what it was.

The guy was at the Ocean County Mall and was pulling it
with a motor home.

When I saw it he was pulling the cover off. I sat in traffic
looking at it until I pissed off everyone behind me :D

Well actually, I do!
Porsche Design runs as a seperate business to us. They are in up in the Mountains in Austria, and do all the cool products (which used to be sunglasses, but now it is just about everything) We, at Style Porsche (at the Weissach development center) just design the cars:cool-smiley-011:.

The weather sucks right now. Cold, wet and grey. Last winter I found at least one good weekend every month where I could drop the boat in the water and let my 525 enjoy the oxygen heavy cool air at 80 mph for a few hours.

Last run this winter was early November.
I keep looking out of the window and hoping........

Mike that boat you saw was coming to Coty Marine. I'll have that boat on display in our Cigarette Booth at the A.C boat show next week.

I saw a Porsche speedboat at the Aqua Toy Store in Pompano Beach, FL yesterday. Call them if interested. (954) 784-9011..

I got a ride on the 27' Fearless Porsche Design boat last Feb. during our poker run (Thursday morning after the boats left). We ran around Biscayne Bay doing around 70mph. I thought it was great. I am looking forward to seeing & riding in the 44' -- I like a little more space. But for a 27' boat, it is a very smooth ride, & I liked the way it turned.

didn't porsche have a boat 15 or so years ago that had a 928 engine,they also had an 928 airplane i,i saw that at oshkos airshow about the same time

Just saw this boat on the tv show "wall street warriors" it looks like a very impressive boat, its definatly an eye catcher, but when you put it on paper for the money, i can think of quite a few other boats id rather have.

I looked it over carefully at NY boat show and think it is cool looking and all...but come the first time you need to press a dock to tie up in wind...well let's just say the word "practical" did not come to mind...

my guess is the guys who have the dough to shell out may not be experienced boaters and the sides of the boat may not look so pretty after a few dock attempts...

love their cars though...and own one
