The sheer size of that boat is incredible in the pictures, WOW. The one picture of the woman on the transom really puts how big that boat is in scale, but while it is big it looks great doing so, well-proportioned. And that boat boat looks fantastic. What a masterpiece. Very impressive.

Yes, with three stateroom, four heads and a very large "living room" on the inside as well as enough room to throw a party in the cockpit and aft deck area, the thing was giant! The photo of the head with the blue lights is one of two just like that. They are under the cockpit, one on each side connected to two state rooms. The layout was very nicely done. Ample room, nice flow and the attention to detail was awesome. All custom painted, luxurious textiles...Everywhere you look on the "Lady Lisa", you had to do a double take to take in the awesoem detail.


Dean,

I don't know what top speed is but I think between Doug, Bob and my wife driving it, at one time or another I saw 65 on the speedo....and comfortable. Like I said in the article, you just don't realize how fast you're going in a boat that size.

Does the boat have a captain, or does the owner run it himself?

Hi Tank,
I was just reading one of your blogs and the thought came to me about your day job.

You have one of neatest side jobs I can think of, traveling around the different venues, riding in and blogging about some of the coolest boats around.

But how do you work this out with your regular job? I believe I heard you were a police officer? Do you have the best boss in the country? Just curious? Dan

I burn up a lot of my own time. I've also just taken up advertisement sales for Powerboat as well but writing and selling ads for PBM is like a vacation from my day job. ;)

Tank thanks for sharing. Never got an opportunity to check this beauty out.. I prefer the convertable version of this red 80 vs the top on the blue yacht.

This boat is not for sale but we'd be happy to build another just like it.
Ballpark "list price" 4.9.

I've never made it onto the blue hard top but would like to see the differences first hand. I like the look of the hard top because it seems truer to a "yacht" look and I assume it'd be nice to stay out of the wind for long runs. I also like the open air feel of the convertable and the feeling of a roomy, open air cockpit. Having run the red one, I'll just need to find my way onto the blue one to get a first hand opinion between the two!

Terry, can you set that up please??:drink:

Well, I seen someone driving it today. We didn't get close enough to identify anything but from where we were, it looks like an older man, not really the type of physical condition you would hire for a captain. We were in Cape Coral, at Marker 92. It was gassing up.
