That's a serious money hole! Is the term K-boat-$ when talking in millions?

I understood that this particular boat was constructed to its present state in South America, then towed/barged to Delta for finish.
Several years ago I toured their shop where they were getting ready to launch a 130 foot beauty. They let me sit in the engine room for 30 minutes and drool.
Eric will be excited- I see a Willard peeking its bustle to the right. Bet he becomes excited over the prospect of taking on such a backyard project!! Just projecting here.

Wait what?N47 Lots and lots of people mistake Willard's for wood boats. I hear it all the time. Most however are taken in by the grooves molded into the hull. See pics. But astonishingly the owner of the Willard in your picture has apparently taken them out. Looks like a smooth hull. This old boat is stunningly beautiful and I can only imagine the work that's gone into her. I saw another Willard that was painted for $1000 per foot. I hope neither of them ever tie up next to me as mine would be considered a project boat. haha it is right now. Been sitting. Thanks for the picture.
Ours has the grooves as well. I'm sure it was never taken for wood though. Here is one more shot under our bow. I can see our boat reflected in the paint.
