I was just visiting with some of my best friends in Pensacola Florida when he took me and showed me his new boat. It is 65 feet long and runs on two Detroit diesel engines his last boat was 40 feet long and he considered it to be too small. He has an affliction for catching Marlin and other large game fish. His last smaller boat was called the Bloodsport and it had won many off shore fishing competitions. He told me that one of the last fish was too big to get into the boat, so that's why he upgraded to this thing. The Bloodsport is the one with the fantastic mural along the bottom. His new Boat is named the Relentless but me thinks it's getting renamed Bloodsport 2. If you want to charter it, it'll only cost a measly $3000 per day not including your booze, but you're pretty much guaranteed to catch a marlin or any other large Gamefish you're specifically looking for. The next time I come in town I am hoping he will just take me out for the heck of it. We've been friends for 27 years and I hope he takes that into consideration. His personal car is an Audi R8 GT. The last picture isn't them but I looked through their photo album and saw some of the prize fish they've caught and the size is very comparable. FREAKING WOW!

Nice boat!

I used to work on Detroit Diesels engines on yachts when I first started with Detroit Diesel/Allison Transmission. Tough to tell from those pics, guessing they are 12V-92's? Yacht owners love painting the hardware on their engines. Sure, it looks pretty, until the first time the engines get worked on, then you have to bust the paint off to get the proper size tool on the fastener...then it looks like ass when its all put back together, owners turn right around and paint them again.
