If it comes with warheads, I'm in!
If it comes with a fuel card, I'll take two!

To get the 190-ton craft moving at a manufacturer's claimed top speed of 35 mph, the Sea Slice has two MTU diesel engines and two 180-kW Caterpillar generators that give it 6,964 horsepower. Its fuel tanks hold 11,112 gallons — at a little over $2.30 a gallon for diesel, that's about $25,500 for a fill-up. That'll sting, but think of how much you're already saving off the sticker price.
My neighbors would be envious, not!

that would make one awesome party barge!
Looks like it would have the maneuverability of a dead whale, but it's fascinating.

Wow. Is it airworthy?
Can you keep the existing livery if you buy it

Don't judge it by its looks, it's actually an amazing platform that can fly through rough seas and is HIGHLY maneuverable...

Funny, I looked at the picture and thought that it looked very fast and slightly futuristic.

I like it.
You'd realize more than $180K scrapping this beauty, so it'll go for more than that at auction.
This would be one neat toy for somebody with the bucks to operate and maintain a large yacht.
Fast and very costly when delivered.
I wonder how many hours those MTUs have and I wonder when this small ship was last drydocked?
If you could buy this fast little ship in good operable condition for 180K, it would be a real steal.

For $180K I could buy that, sell my house pocket the difference, and make a houseboat out of it. All it takes is a little imagination. The Navy builds those things with about a 50 year life expectancy don't they? If so I'll be dead and my son can have it.
