Stancraft. Powered by two viper engines, for good measure.

I love wooden boats...someday maybe I'll get to build one. I'm thinking 2JZ power...just because it's quickly becoming one of my favorite engines.

Wow. This boat is both extremely beautiful and hilariously phallic. Love wooden boats, although from the work involved just redoing the teak seats and trim on my family's sailboat, I don't think I would own one until I was retired or had enough money to pay somebody to keep it on tip top shape.

You make me miss our Riva.

Similar to the Riva Aquarama Jeremy has in the Top Gear Perfect Road Trip episode. That one had two V8's. There is a Riva with two Lamborghini V-12's that was owned by Feruccio Lamborghini himself.

My next project (when I get the space) will be a steam launch. I'll build the boat from plans. There is a steam forum to help with the engines, there are people that make them. Not sure which one yet, but I have time. It really depends on a few factors. Craftsmanship but not speed!

Back when I was a kid my dad did a Resto on an old Grady White. It wasn't too bad to maintain but it did take effort.

It won't be for a while! But someday I will. I live in a condo and I want a small house with garage plus some space to have my cars and a place for a boat trailer. Its the Bay Area so its not like I'm in Montana with a few acres.

Ah yes, the crazy world of high priced metropolitan real estate. My apartment at school in OK for the last two years cost less than a third of what my apartment in Paris costs this year. I had a balcony, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room over a few hundred square feet, plus an apartment pool and free parking. In Paris, I have a 12 square meter studio on the 7th floor with no elevator. My bed is my couch haha
