Also keep in mind you will have to shell out at least $100,000 in fuel every time you want to go out.
You might want to start out with something smaller. I know a guy who built a modified WWII PT boat. He used the same haul and modified the top for use as a pleasure yacht. The thing is a tank. He uses aluminum in set of wood like the original. During Hurricane Katrina he didn't take any precautions and just left it tied up a usual in the slip it ended up destroying a wooden post and the only damage it received was messing up the paint job. It's quite impressive because when the fiberglass yachts tried the post won by putting a 3 ft hole in them. Last I herd he was trying to sell it. It wouldn't cost much to convert it into a PT boat. Just a thought.
