Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

Captain Jack,

When you get back from fishing take a look at this, #msg-1052181 Smart Money seems to have found himself a little itty bitty boat. Well, ok it's a ship. Probably a little big for fishng, don't you think. <g> Of course those little dinky waves on Lake Erie wouldn't be a problem.

What do you think? Isn't $4.5 million like scrape value? Seems all the equipment on it would be worth that much. Not that I know the first thing about ships. What do you think the condition would be since it was last overhauled 23 yrs. ago? Sure seems to have been refitted a lot, whatever that is. You think it would be possible to turn it into a novelty cruise ship? I bet you there would be enough people that would want to go for a cruise in the carribean on an aircraft carrier.

Now if he was to park this at his local swimming hole..... what would it cost just to have it sit. What would you be looking at in yearly maintance? And then if on a lazy Sunday afternoon he wanted to go for a little sail, what would it cost to fire this baby up, and how big a crew would you need? Would this be a toy for somebody with money, or just a headache? Just for something this big, the price doesn't seem to be all that much. Shish, it's over 1/8 mile long. I wonder if it comes with any big guns. I don't see any in the pictures. Probably awesome just to get to run around on it for a day, let alone buy it.
