Well tank looks like you got your dreamboat all rigged out! But if you lose a motor in the ocean you'll wish you had two more to get it on plane.

Ourterlimits 51 or 52, red &yellow based paint scheme, nortech style wet bar in cockpit. T53's with surface drives, so I dont spend every weekend fxing it, genny, hot water ac/heat fully ,loaded. exhaust out the back, water cooled but a switch on the dash that mommentarily shuts the water cooling off and activates the flame throwers, and heres the kicker... a rear facing dash mounted projector, coupled with a pull down screen when you open the engine cover, so you can show movies at the dock in the evening hours. also little automatic popout steps on the side of the hull, so drunk buddies can climb in / over the side when swimming so they don't slice themselves open on the props.

Boat: 388 Skater with the Aero Marine 3 Piece windshield with a slight tint not to dark as it would it difficult to see through at dusk. Would like a bigger boat but I don’t want to have a small army to launch and wash.

I’d have the deck contoured in the rear and a custom engine hatch design made. I’d do a bit different forward deck shape also.

Dealer: Arneson Industries of course

Power: Turbine no less

Drives: Arneson ASD8-6 of course

Paint: Something clean. A silver base with a slight blue tint mixed in with accents done in red, but very light accents. Going for a rich clean look rather than a busy one.

Interior, completely different dash and front seat layout than normal with the rear of the seats having storage trays that are linear actuated so that they open with the push of a button to reveal the bumpers and lines on the bottom and misc. storage up higher. Of course the rear head rest would have a GPS flat LCD screen in it to give the passengers a unique view. I'd use the Pirate intercom system for the communications. Side compartments with built in compartments for more storage and area and grab holders for the rear passengers to hold to. The rear seats would also sit in a fiberglass molded receiver with handles for security and the bottom of the seat are also have a drawer that is electrically operated to reveal more storage.

Autometer gauges with Hardin Shifters and Zeiger tilt column.

Interior color to be a light colored leather or suede, but not white, so as to not be unbearable in the summer sun.

Engine room to be painted the same color as the exterior.

Trailer: Skater tilt with air over hydraulic Disc brakes. No aluminum! Wash down tank and a genset built in with fuel tank.

Propellers: Hering Only

I wanna see Arruda rig two turbines in a sponson. Not only that, you would need a LOT of fuel tankage. Better to use the 3000hp T55s like the new Miss Geico has.

Skater 40 SS
1550 sterlings #6s

paint: mostly classy, yet a little loud, silver, red, deffinately some mate black with a touch of that new hot green with some white ghost graphics. custom interior as well.

Most importantly even though the new windshield is growin on me Id still have to go with those real like F-16 1/4 canopies. And a swede racing sterring wheel.

Hey if its my boat I wont be in the back

Ive been in the back of Dan Ks 368 at 150, I could handle a little more

Let hope i never get this kind money, cuz then my decision making abilities would be put to the test. So many possibilities.

36 Apache ( this is my classic v option)
staggered 1075's obviously with #6
6 pack seating
Not sure if I would have TOAD do the paint or some Talented Young Starving Artist who want to have fun and make a statement with a classic Apache theme.
David Clark Intercom
Stereo so Frickin loud they can hear me one shore.
Too many custom personal touches to list. LED's, Carbon Fiber, embroidering, etc.
Gages, Gauges, Gauges... I want to know everything at a glance.

Cat would have to be 44 MTI
twin 1200 with surface drives.
