Same goes on this forum, except a little different wording. "Too big, too slow, can't sail, you can't sail it singlehanded, bla-bla-bla"

I like big luxury cats, the only my concern is finding reasonable moorage if needed, and finding place with somewhat reasonable rates for haulouts.

As Eddie Murphy so eloquently said "Now that's a big bitch."

If you can afford it who needs haul outs.. just trade it in when the ash trays are full..

If you can afford that, "reasonable" doesn't even come into the picture.

I like the way think, just can not afford to think the way you like.

I can tell you guys, rich people counting the spending much more than the poor

That's one of the reasons why they're rich.
On other hand, someone might be surprised, but these boats also will become "used", "not so expensive", "not so luxury" but they still will be luxury boats

. And people who will buy these boats, will be not as rich (rich will buy another new boat, right?), so they will have to find good deals for moorage and maintenance.

From the comments under this video:

"Hey folks, this is still a Lagoon, and they have not figured out how to keep hull windows from leaking (I had a 500 destroyed by a failed window and a 52 that the factory would not repair when the hull windows leaked after one year). The salon door on the 52 is attached by sheet metal screws, so don't expect those nice glass doors to work after a few months or less. And the opening sun deck on the hull, I would not even think for a second that Lagoon could engineer (or support) this properly. It's all marketing, smoke and mirrors. Look at the used prices on 62's,,,can't even give them away. IF they could actually make this dream video a reality it would be great, but trust me, they absolutely cannot. The WORST customer service of any luxury item in the world. If you want a yacht like this, go to a real boat builder, but Lagoon is famous for building cheap fleet boats for charter companies, and this would be a nightmare to maintain. No global service, no interest in really helping the $1+M buyer at all. If you have to have one, wait an year or two and buy a used one at half price. My 52 was pristine and had many custom upgrades and I had a hard time "giving" it away to stop the financial bleeding. Nice video, I would buy the plane first."

That sounds not very optimistic.
And he's correct, you can buy 3 year old Lagoon 620 with mind blowing features and updates for $0.9-1M, which sounds absolutely crazy. Has anyone seen one of these? Are they THAT bad?

I mean - I don't mind it to be a project, the only question is - how big is that project?

Speaking of the seaplane, anyone know the brand and model?

They are certainly selling a dream in this video!

I rarely tune into a Cat thread but this was very entertaining. Absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine the amount of cloth and goo that went into this one. Anyone know the price? My wife wants one. I told her we could have her horse onboard.
My second thought was I could use the airplane to fly to my mono...
