[Closed] Boat Porn

Don't quite get the two levers on the dash to engage/disengage the engines, wouldn't the driver have to take both hands off the steering wheel? daft idea. Loverrly boat tho

Fantastic, utterly gorgeous boat and I am sure is amazingly smooth with those engines. Thanks for sharing.

Not real boat, is disappoint 🙁

Ooh my, that's rather nice.

That's nothin to do with Cap'n Stabbin's cabin - disapoint

Hear, hear!

Matt, raced with Endeavour last week. J's are fine, but not very traditional. Much sexier boats out there!

The greatest moment of my life to date is starting this up on Torquay harbourside in 1986, at 9 years old.

Luckily, I had a Mum that seemed to be able to negotiate things for her only son, just with her looks & charm. Bless you Mum, miss you 😀

I remember lifting the plastic cap on the start button, pressing the start button, and the sound....I did that!

bear, I remember hearing/seeing her come in to Salcombe. Suprisingly loud!

Still not as lovely as this though;;

Sorry CFH, big girlie tears now remebering Mum. Screw mahogany 😉

Lamborghini V12 boat started up when was asleep below deck with a hangover in Cowes, it was just utterly pantwettingly fabulous.

No apology needed! My memories of my grandmother ruling the roost over the estuary are equally strong!

It's ok, I've MTFU'd now. That was weird.

aw bless at the yachties bringing a knife to a gun fight 😉

CFH - fair call, Velsheda is the prettiest, but Ranger is the awesome. 😀

bearnecessities - I drove the old inland rescue RIB on the Mersey in the '90s. I was told (but never substantiated) that the boat hull was the prototype Atlantic Challenger. Chuff me it was fast (and tippy) with two inboard V6's 8)

This is my wet dream at the mo. 2014 Mastercraft Prostar, new hull design, the wake is virtually none existent.

Love these me.

the wake is virtually non existent.

How silly. More wake is better!

[img] [/img]

More is better? 😕
[img] [/img]

CFH is so predictable 😀

I usually prefer sailing boats, but that riva is gorgeous

loved this, before bloody Sea Shepherd got their hands on it 🙁

[img] [/img]

geek alert: the lambo engines have apfelbeck cylinder heads - the inlets are in between the camshafts (where the spark plugs are), instead of in the V as in usual. hence the weird positions for the carbs

Rivas are very nice and reassuringly expensive! However for beauty, power and all round magnificence you cannot top the J Class.

i worked for a company that made a load of titanium deck gear and blocks etc for a J

Not what i had in mind when i read the title..

/ disappointed

All these motor boats and you haven even come close to the baby bootlegger

[img] [/img]

But yeah, sails is best.

For eg [img] [/img]

Lolz at the canvas crowd! I like boats. Period. I think the J's are some of the most exquisite vessels ever built, but I also love boats that make loud noises and go like the clappers!
That Riva is a stunning example of the boatbuilder's craft, the fact it goes like a cat with a spark up its ass is an added bonus!
It's always good to see a bunch of boat pics posted; keep it up, chaps! 😀

Does new count?

That cat boat is beautiful.

Stinkboats leave me cold, but if I could persuade SWMBO, I'd be on a dutch barge tomorrow.

Unfortunately she still has the horrors from when we had a gaff rigged ketch - took her through the edge of a cyclone in North Queensland - I think she took it personally when I called her moveable ballast and made her sit on the rail to help keep the boat upright.

These days, all I want is one of these. Just the job for nipping across the Minch. 🙂

@bearnecessities:

Virgin Atlantic Challenger II? I knew nothing about this awesome vessel until it appeared recently in Plymouth looking a bit worn and tired. Turns out a local ferryman / boatyard owner had found it in a Spanish boatyard, bought it and is going to fully restore her. Have a look [url= http://www.virginatlanticchallenger2.com/ ]here[/url]

Must have been awesome to fire her up!

Despite all that, still prefer sail...

If the Good Lord above had meant us to windsurf, he wouldn't have given us arses to sit on, now would he? 😉

@ Joshvegas

Now that is proper boat porn

Look at those womanly curves .... beautiful

Would

I do love windsurfing in the Trade Wind zones, where you are holding onto a bit of plastic, with no mechanical propulsion, riding waves and capturing winds that have been circling the globe for millions of years. Kinda spirichul like.

You can use your arse later for sitting at a beach bar while sipping a refreshing caipirinha through a straw.
