snapped this pic yesterday while I was at work. this thing's dope. I'm a big fan of boats and moreso fishing boats, but this thing is baddasss.

it's at least 130+ feet, and all dull grey with a bright orange stripe on the waterline.

I believe it's either a Mangusta or a Pershing. similar to the boat Usher arrived at the VMAs in Miami.

anyhow, this thing's bad, and it's brand new. multiple millions of dollars will buy it.

gosh:

Are we sure it's a 130+? Doesn't look like much more than an 80 from those pics.

Must be that large rear deck causing an optical illusion - I'm used to looking at boats with a shorter rear and longer flybridge, or tri-decks like this 115:

It's also really flat which helps see that it's pretty long.

that's a very nice boat. would be cool to cruise around in one for a while, but then i'd have to put it back nicely and hope the owner didn't notice it was gone

I'd have no need for a house if I had one those. The Caribbean would be my backyard.
