i found a great website today: deadrise4sale.com. they broker chesapeake bay style boats.

whatever floats your boat

i love to hotdog around in my boat, but not this much! the creativity of boat builders appears to be limitless!

my new boat

naw...i wish, but there's only one left and i dont get paid til next week.

wooden car boat

if boats can fly, cars can certainly float...boat builder jeff bridges has hit the nail on the head with a series of custom carpentered car-boats: it's hard to beat a floating ferrari!

boat yard fire

now that the flames are out, tiffany yachts will start the rebuilding process. a total of four boats were lost as well as two buildings. such a tragic interruption of tiffany's 70-year old-plus great american boat building tradition. above is 'miss nancy', renovated and rebuilt by tiffany's and owned by some friends on the great wicomico river, directly across from tiffany's boat yard. here is some video from the fires with the owners of tiffany yachts.

futuristic boat

futuristic boat built for one of the siberian govenors. hmmm....im sure there's nothing corrupt about that!

killer whale yacht

is this really necessary? apparently not, because no one has forked over the $95-million to have oculus made: this is a virtual killer whale yacht.
