Very cool boat

Granted I live close to the mountains and not near water so I don't see many large boats....but this is one of the coolest boats I've seen.

I am pretty sure I read an article about that boat somewhere. IIRC its hull is made of carbon fibre.

PS Canada OWNS this thread....so far

I was just thinking....
Do you have any idea how much p*$$y you could get with a boat like that. I mean look at this pic, if that isn't the ultimate orgy room, well, I don't know what is.

From the outside it reminds me of the COBRA's boats from G.I. Joe.

On the inside...oh yeah! It's got it going on!

Ever since my friends hit puberty, I have been desensitized to mom jokes. I heard at least 5 every day for 10 years. Having a good looking mom is a curse.

Wow, it even has a stealthy look to it, for those times when you would invade a small country I guess. I'm not really liking the outside's lines, but the inside is definitely a luxury I wouldn't mind having. Are those stripper poles installed there?

The yacht features all the spacious comforts of a mega yacht together with the nautical characteristics of coast-guard boat, including a CODOG (combined diesel or gas) propulsion systemcommon on small warships, but rare on yachts. Three gas turbines generating 16,800 HP drive water jets - two steerable outboard and a non-steering on centreline. For manoeuvring and long deliveries, the steerable water jets are powered by two diesel engines of 370 HP each. The exhaust system is made of titanium that saves weight while being very resistant to the high temperatures generated by the gas turbines.

At speed, the 118 WallyPower is comfortable and stable as a result of the V hull shape combined with the construction technology and the perfect isolation of the machinery, noise and vibration. The hull form is a deep V of 22 degrees at the stern, with a straight stem bow designed to perform as a wave piercing. The unique, chameleon-like paint finish is metallic dark green and changes reflections and colour depending on the light and landscape. At anchor, the sections of the bulwarks alongside the superstructure drop-down hydraulically to increase the light and the view from the salon and when open they serve as diving platforms.

Nice yacht, but if you've got $25 million to drop on a boat I don't think you would have any problem attracting the tang.

also, unless you're picking up chicks at the marina, you're gonna have to carry around pictures of your boat!

It's near the bottom of the first website I posted.
The beauty and luxury of the 118 WallyPower doesn't come cheap - it's current market price is US $16.55 million when equipped with only twin diesels, compared to US $24.83 million as tested, with triple gas turbines.
Obviously if you don't get the 17000 hp gas turbines you're a poseur.

No no no. You don't park this at a marina to get p*$$y. You anchor the boat off the coast of italy in plain view of the beach. Then you let them a) swim to your boat or b) you hand pick the ones you like and bring them back via the dingy.
