What would YOUR theme boat be???
 
If you were to build a new boat (funds unlimited), and you HAVE to theme it. What would your theme be?

I'd have to say a Thor themed boat would be cool. The god of thunder only seems appropriate for a go fast. Or maybe something all black with gold leaf and the skull and crossbones on the bow "the privateer"

Theme would be p.o.w/m.i.a on a 27ft krytonite boat.

A while back a buddy was getting ready to buy a Rough Rider and we discussed how entertaining (and shocking/attention getting) it would be (due to the name of the model) to do an S&M theme. Name the boat something like "dominate" do subtle (very subtle) graphics like the Cigarette insignia on the sides having rope around it and squeezing slightly, do graphics on top of the throttles like "Gimmie more" and "safe word" at the bottom. Go through and re-name all the descriptions on the dash (like the Off Duty apache) like for trim "face up" and "face down", have hand cuff graphics stitched into the bolster seats behind the grab bars, etc.

I know it sounds a bit deviant but I think if done right it'd be pretty cool.

And no, I'm not some S&M freak. :whistle:

hotjava66 02-03-2013 06:01 PM

Unlimited budget? I would build a warbird theme boat. 50' custom v hull built heavy, or maybe a one off 47 apache hull powered by trip Rolls Royce Merlin XX's in full race trim and optimized for low altitude. Paint it in WWII service colors complete with nose art. Arneson or other direct surface drives. Hatch exit rear eject exhaust. Be a heavy beast but with 9000hp it should still be fast. Fun to think about but those mills built to spec would run at least a million a PIECE.

Navy Mark V deep diver foot up on an open treasure chest and wrapped in a very sultry mermaid . (TM) This on a 50' turbine powered Skater . :bunnydance:

Randy Nielsen 02-03-2013 07:41 PM

With an unlimited budget I think I would like to do a Star Trek themed boat. Start with something different like a 50' Statement! cat & outfit the cockpit with multiple programmable monitors for info & cameras. Voice activated controls with manual override. LED lighting for air intake & exhaust to simulate warp engines, And maybe an off white pearl paint job with airbrushed deck plates. The concept would be to let the entire boat take your imagination away instead of any specific feature. Just my 'WARPED" mind,LOL Randy

POWERPLAY J 02-03-2013 07:54 PM

Blown, big cube, staggered APACHE. And I would name it after a famous Indian.

mickeymcclgn 02-03-2013 11:03 PM

As much as I love big V bottom boats I think id do a nice skater with a a girl painted as an angel on one side and the same girl but with devil horns on the other side, name it heaven and hell, saints and sinners, 2 faced, take your pick. Lol. Haven't thought out the interior yet. Maybe turbine powered? Just cause they're cool...

I would have to do a Cadillac themed boat. I would commission Progression or Tuff to build me a 40 something hull. As for power, I would start with the base 4.6 Northstar engine and modify the he!! out of it. After seeing some of the prot-type builds on this engine they did at the GM proving grounds this engine had a ton of hp potential and would like to see what it could do in a marine application.

Now that's cool.

I'd seriously have to consider Racer X. No extra crap on it... just graphics exactly like the car.

VetteLT193 02-04-2013 10:27 AM

Mine would be boat themed.

Are you thinking of a marine version of this car?

drpete3 02-04-2013 11:04 AM

How about a theme boat after a fovorite band. I could envision an AC/DC boat that looks like the cover of If you wnat blood.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...7ve_Got_It.JPG

i would do a weiner boat co. sense there is a banana boat co. already and a top banana. i would want a top weiner or team weiner . :lolhit:

Second the Wiener boat.

HabanaJoe 02-04-2013 11:21 AM

This is lame but I would have a a new 38 Scarab built with an enhanced Miami Vice Theme. More custom touches like the MTI's or Apaches would have to me it doesn't get any better than the original theme boat.

TEAMBAJA 02-04-2013 11:24 AM

I would order a new MTI or Outerlimits plain, then hire the genius behind Pimp of the Nation to to paint it and deck it out!

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...mp-nation.html

Or maybe a BIG Fountain with ice cream cones all down the sides if that hasnt been done already! ;)

Randy Nielsen 02-04-2013 11:31 AM

Miami Vice

I always thought building a big around a couple Merlins would be cool to. Somewhere there is 27 Magnum with one in it and a aviation theme, the thing was nuts. Biggest prob would be that engine only turns about three thousand rpm.

Yeah, they spin 3k, 3500 for an unlimited Reno style. If you had the funds to build em you could afford a couple of two speed trannies or some one off custom props on a 1:1 drive like they do with diesels. Thread did say unlimited funds.......

FIXX 02-04-2013 05:29 PM

Girls gone wild!..

commandersander 02-04-2013 05:40 PM

Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9.....the is the Snowman east bound and down.....

Awesome!

I don't have the unlimited budget, but...I do have a theme boat.

Documented " BOOTY HUNTER"
sun pad is skull and cutlasses instead of cross bones
Swords for throttles
Bullion medallions for tabs
Aluminum powder coat wood grain pipe for McCleod bolster stands
Gas gauge is "Aargh!
Rear bench in stitched "Dungbie"
bolsters have small stitch of sun pad on front and rear
"Freebooter" engraved on throttle plate
""powder monkey" on port at chart bin
Gps tach has "blimey"
"scuttle" on oil and temp gauges
"Man-o-War" on tachs
Sun pad in a minute..don't have it on ipud

I was thinking same thing, but a chris craft stinger version with updated touches.

With unlimited funds, Why not both?

HEDGEHOGER 02-04-2013 10:47 PM

I would go with a nor tech 36 supercat with 1350s Pittsburgh steelers themed the crash helmets would loon like football helmetes and the boat would be black with gold air brushing
:helmet:

HiPerf360 02-04-2013 10:51 PM

I would do a bad ass offshore themed boat! I think skater could pull it off just right!

Interceptor 02-05-2013 09:14 AM

Get a Cig, Apache or Scarab, paint it white and name it "White Rabbit". Drive around the coast Guard station.

Wahoo ATV 02-05-2013 09:25 AM

Even with "Unlimited Funds" I wouldn't want one.
