Wow - that thing is a BEAST! You know you want to add it to your fleet...

What is that Rolling Stones song?
It is definitely some outrageous eye candy and it would be fun to ride or drive for the experience, but then there is reality - lol.

So I'm wondering Bill, do they drain all the fluids before they roll them on the side for transport?

I don't know what has to be done before they are slanted on the trailer.

I'm curious about how they trailer them as well. Talk about a metric-ton of money to run one of these high-end boats, plus trailer, plus big rig, plus crew, plus fuel, plus beer for the crew...

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to engineer the entire boat (fills, vents, etc.) so that it could be inclined in one direction w/o concern.

That's true. Dry sump oil system would make it easier, and I'm sure most of the big boys are running them. Gel batteries as well. I wonder if the hull needs to be purpose-built to ride like that?

After looking at the pictures again, you can see the two fill fittings on the port side (top).
