OK, so here's what I'm thinking. CFF Privateering vessel, armed, selling pirate hunting trips.....

Welp all we need now is 90 or so members with about 2500 bux to throw at this project ! We could be in Barbados by April !

Found this from http://www.oldsaltblog.com/2011/03/u-s-coast-guard-cutter-acushnet-queen-of-the-fleet-for-sale/

"The Acushnet is facing seizure for non-payment of dockage fees to Lovrics Sea-Craft, Inc. of Anacortes. Mr. Officer was last reported in jail in Utah, and his present whereabouts are unknown. He is the 51 per cent shareholder in the company which he set up in Nevada, although he apparently did not invest a dime in the purchase. The approximately 15 tons of spare parts included in the sale, which did contain several hundred pounds of highly marketable copper, have disappeared. There is also an approximately $80,000 towing bill, from Ketchikan to Anacortes unpaid. The anchors are missing, along with an unknown length of anchor chain. There is still apparently about 25,000 to 30,000 gallons of fuel onboard, contrary to Mr. Officer’s comments. The Coast Guard is threatening to pump that fuel out as they are afraid of an oil spill. Effectively, the ship has been abandoned."

I assume its the same vessel- I don't know who legally owns it now. I suppose my point is that preparation is key no matter what the endeavor. If you can't get 10 miles from the dock in the most Pirate Smoting ship, Ever... it kinda defeats the purpose. A ready to go to sea vessel of this size like this would probably go for over $ 3-5 Million + , and cost $250k+ a year in maintenance, never mind fuel and operating costs.

There may be a market for the "pirate experience" but sweet mama jama the startup costs will make most men dizzy.

Was thinking this is a great deal, then looking at the photos closely I notice that things like Anchors are missing. If things as simple as that are gone, I think its reasonable to assume that there will be a lot of shit missing- if its not called out in the ad, its not there. I wouldn't go near this without a comprehensive marine survey. Offer $100k contingent on passing acceptable survey.

Meh.....we'll be pulling in enough booty to cast solid gold anchors.

Next!

Yes, for sure and I can make Debbie look like a rank amateur. LOL. Totally Busted. Just spent too may years of my life in that gap between dreams and reality and usually the guy that welded the two things together after someone made a promise.

Still, I think the premise has promise. :)

Can we mount some GAU-8 Avenger cannons ? They may cause some amount of excitement for both tourists and pirates alike. At $25,000 per minute they may be a money maker too.

It is my understanding that the boat is in really bad shape. But what the hell you can't have everything!

I'll reach out to some of those bodacious Instagram chicks whose pics I post down in the basement and see if they would like to go on an all expense paid cruise around the Horn of Africa.

If I send them some pictures of a bunch of young male models/strippers as a representation of our group, and then transport them out to the ship while it's offshore so they can't change their mind once onboard, then maybe we can pull it off.:D

I'm staring at a Tamaya sextant as I type this but frankly will need to get some practice in before claiming I'm good to go now. For me one of those things where if I don't do it all the time I get my calcs messed up.

They killed a ton of Aliens and big alien ships with one of these on the new Battleship movie. It will work. Plus we have a plane on ours.

1) I know what he's staring at bent over the con. 2) I think the USS North Carolina had a cooler looking bridge than that. 3) I need a case of Dramamine ordered for the slow shooting times.

Inasmuch as I'd like to take that to sea, I think the boat in the ad is more seaworthy....
