        This is the kind of (fourlettered worded) kind of horse manure that any local yokel could come up with.
        Now for real, you think that is all he can come up with, after generations of total state bullying?
        Think again, the dude is a total loser.

        ETA I mean if you really want to impress your people, get a mege yaught, ( 100 meters and more)

            That's a surprisingly modest and ordinary boat for the Beloved Leader (or whatever they're calling Kim III these days). I would have expected something more like this; it's certainly tacky enough, but maybe they couldn't afford it.

              Money can't buy taste. With all the money Jobs had, and he hires Phil Bolger to design his yacht?

                  They're not yachts. Yachts have masts and sails and an engine provides auxiliary power only.

                  These are all gin palaces.

                  BTW Bob, it wasn't Phil Bolger, but Phil Stark better known for his chair designs and the Alessi juicer. "Money can't buy taste." is correct 100%.

                    Bob was being facetious. It does look like a giant version of some of Mr Bolger's more rectangular powerboats, but Bolger had a good reason for making them look like that.

                      All they had to do on Jobs' yacht was to make the front vertical cabin surfaces sloped, and it would have looked significantly better.

                        I may be somewhat heretical but I don't mind Jobs' design as much as some of the others out there (the Russian-owned monstrosity with the reverse stem and crazy tumblehome comes to mind). If Bolger and FLW got together on a yacht it might have looked something like Jobs'.

                        Besides, as Oystagirl points out, it likely has great geezly pumps aboard, so when the roof leaks, it'll be easy to deal with.

                        What are you doing about it?

                          I have some friends who own a Boston Whaler 170 Super Sport that they keep stowed on the forward deck of their house boat. The PWCs and kayaks are stowed aft inside next to the swimming deck. Their's is sorta the classic design, just a little over 70m, black hull, white topsides, good wine cellar. Makes for a nice kayaking base station when they bring it up to the Great Lakes. It's lease-able for a very reasonable price, less than a million/wk, and the cellar can be stocked from their own vineyards, at a discount.

                            I knew it really wasn't Bolger... but I couldn't resist. (And Bolger did design some very nice boats before he "went off the deep end.")
