I got the perfect setup for you my friend.

She's a helo pilot. Charter a nice Bell Jet Ranger for a flight. Fly over the boat somewhere and tell her you can't believe someone built X and that you have to go meet that person. Then, just tell her you bought it onsite. Will probably go better than telling her you have been hiding it for a year(s). LOL

^^^^^^^ Buttering up the wife by indulging in her hobby before begging for forgiveness. Sneaky. Mildly underhanded. I like it, I like it a lot.

My guess is......... since Gino has been hanging around with his fellow business partners, he has stepped up to a really nice custom built yacht.

OK, maybe not as big as what they have been tooling around in the last few years, but something that will turn heads for sure.....of course it must have a big beautiful HELICOPTER LANDING PAD

That will help the Mrs accept it much better. Good for you Gino!!

Nah.... Just tell her about it as you happen to be in a really nice jewelry store.... Might save you.

You are one of 3 people outside of builders that have seen pics. Do you think she will buy that? I thought you were on to something! I
thought you were going to say only put 5 gallons of fuel in the Jet Ranger and have her fly somewhere.!

That would be "Glide somewhere..."

Now that I think of it... "Glide" might be optimistic...
