Dang. Mark's practically next door, but he'd have to sell a bass or two to pay for that toy.
-
Impressive boat, even if Neil hadn't owned it.
No doubt it's expensive to maintain.
-
Definitely owned her...
Heres a link and a further link to the "Ragland Project"

According to the article it costs $250,000 annually to maintain it.

Whats that saying ? A boat is nothing more than a hole in the water to pour money in. I sail and I love that yacht, it is beautiful. Never in a million years could I afford such a thing. :o
-
But:
"Ragland is outfitted with a railroad car full of mahogany in her hull. The ship features solid teak decks and deck structures up to four inches thick"
And we all love a good hunk of wood.
-
What a beaut! Seems like a great price!!!!
250k is an awful lot to spend per year to maintain it tho.
Why would it cost so much to maintain? Crikey
-
My Neil Young mad co worker informs me that Neil also at one time owned a model train company and is credited with inventing a few electrical specialties relating to hobby trains.

I also have a Neil Young mad co-worker. He just spent over $500 on 2 tickets to his upcoming Bass Concert Hall show. (and that was the regular price)

The company was/is Lionel but I think he is just a consulant now.

If you've ever tried to keep up with a wood boat, you'd know. CONSTANT maintenance on every part - constant wood refinishing, parts repair, hull work, rigging work....it's something you hire very good people to do, not pursue yourself.
Geez, $250K might be the entire annual beer budget of everyone on this forum!

Wouldn't perhaps Lynyrd Skynyrd be interested in buying it and then having it sunk by this? ;D
