Default Mercedes Benz Boat

Look what I found on my son's Honda car site.
Below is what the poster said about the boat.

SLKman



Since this is the "manly" thread in a car forum, and there is nothing more manly than a 200mph boat...

This MTI Cat was built for a gentleman who owns a benz dealership. They aren't real AMG motors though, looks like a pair of 1250hp sterlings. And trust me you don't want to know how much it cost.

I'm guessing more than an R171.

It only has a soft top cover for the cockpit, to use when in storage. No retractable varioroof

Because of all the MB logos and name, I wonder if MB gave permission or even some partial funding.

The way I look at it, the SLK Black is represented in the carbon fiber, roof, and the AMG symbol (second photo).

That's very cool!! Some folks just have too much disposable income...I'll never know. Not sure I'd want to go that fast on water. Water's about as hard as concrete at almost any speed.
