Hot Tip.........Big Boat......Coming Soon

[sum-r breeze]

I figured I'd stick my nose into this just a bit. A boat of that size is probably not going to run at speed even if that speed is 15mph at full throttle. So if its going to be a low speed sight seeing vessel (like the Mount Washington) what's the harm? I welcome any boating enthusiast's idea of what works for them so long as it doesn't negatively impact the general boating experience of the rest of the population. Can't wait to see her!

A magazine review (2016) says top speed 30 knots, cruise at 25 knots.

Personally I’m looking forward to seeing it, where will it be docked?

If the owner of this craft is where I think he is, it will be at the western tip of Governor’s Island right near the NWZ passage between Governor’s and Eagle Is.

I'm not sure there's enough space there without dock additions. The 53'' Caver was docked at Silver Sands.

53" Carver. Was that the "Mini Summa Humma"?

... any celebs or big money. Tilton already said not MB from GI. So..... who? Lots of old money.. and new money up here.

Mitt? Nah, too busy playing politics.
Sandler? Hmmm... good to see him on SNL last night and see a true talent on that show after a long dry spell. But doesn't seem that he likes to call that much attention to himself in the every day.
One of the Patriots ?
How about HHH or his father-in-law?
Damon of Affleck?
A Marriot?
Maybe DickieBfromHB who is FINALLY leaving CA for a better place among family here in Nh?
While it is "privately owned", perhaps intention of operating as a business?
Maybe anybody that flies under the radar and we never find out as registered in a corp name ... Like the jets that fly in and out of LAC.
Oh wait! A Saudi Sheik who bought it for his sons to get away for a weekend a year and who will bring it to the NASWA if can get under the bridge.
Could be just another rich person who will park it and use it 2 times a year when up for vacation.

Going to be great seeing it after all of this suspense. The build up has certainly been propagated by postings on this forum... including mine.

No matter who owns it, I admit it would be nice to have that expendable income and I look forward to seeing it!

I never said that!

Actually I said this:

Probably here about 5/12. Planning still in progress.

No

It was “My Uther Humma”

or something closer to that - it was docked at Silver Sands in days past.

Close but not exactly!

My post was a joke on the reference to a 53" (53 inch) boat being the "Mini" version.

His dock is being worked on now to fit the new boat...
