Biggest private vessel on the lake

Winniboater81 · 06-26-2013, 02:16 PM

I drove by and saw this boat being put in the water the other day. The top was on. It is replacing a 47 foot Sea Ray that was at Mountain View YC. It may not be the largest boat out there, but it sure is the nicest / most expensive boat out there.

I bet you can save big bucks in taxes from lakefront property to laketop property.

Perhaps taxes, but not money. I'm willing to bet that the berth/dock fees are the same or more than many tax bills.

Maybe so, but at least it was money well spent!

Might be the most expensive, but that baby blue Hinckley Picnic Boat (I think it's a T37) I saw recently, assuming it is still around, has got to be the nicest boat on the lake. Those Hinckleys are completely over-the-top when it comes to fit and finish, materials, and workmanship. If it is a T37, and it's new, it costs more than the Meridian too. http://www.hinckleyyachts.com/Jetboa...PB/t37-NPB.php

The guy that just bought Dollar Island also just bought a nice new Hinckley.
He thinks he needs to change the name- "Million Dollar Island".

Could be accurate if loaded with all the options... I think the base price is around 800k on those. They draw very little water, are very simple to operate, and would be a great choice for exploring the lake/getting to and from an island home in all weather, in the utmost comfort and style, IMO.

Well, I think he was referring to the price of the island, not the boat. He also has a house on the mainland.
