Horrible story, The CNN story, not the SOTW story! Quentin sounds a bit jealous. Why can't people just be happy for others?

Ok I'm gonna preface this by saying its a beautiful boat and car. Though she has technical inaccuracies it is most certainly a large ego and lots of money combined. After saying that let me say in the same financial position I'd do the same damn thing!! Haha. It is no different in my opinion than a huge mansion for a family of 2-4. It is all ego driven and not driven by need or necessity.

For that article I would name the boat "ego gone mad" and send her lots more pics!! Haha

Mr. Willson is at least second generation $$$ who started out his career OWNING a Ferrari / Maserati dealer. He should be the last one judging someone who came from nothing. Just Sayin'.

Based on ratings / viewers, good thing it was on CNN. It means very little heard about it. "News" in this country has become irrelevant. They (except Fox) all seem to pull off the AP press and puke it out.

"And that's really sad. Anybody who's got that amount of money that they need to go and commission a special boat to keep them entertained -- I think it's nuts," he says.

This guy obviously isn't a boat guy, everyone on here would love to build the boat they think would make them happy, and some can afford it and do it. Gino boat looks awesome
