The display is a large barge. It's not self-propelled.

its not self propelled, but it does just about everything else. I was lucky enough to be shown 'below deck' don't be thinking this stops at the waterline. It was built by the Lazzara guys themselves, so the quality is just as high as their yachts.

Now there's something that I think those of us who haven't had the opportunity to visit would love. Anybody have inside pics or care to describe what it's about?

I don't think there are many pics of the downstairs around. They have an engine room, minus the engines, but full of generators, they don't have to use 'show power' they also have a full galley and dining area, media screening room, one bedroom, storage room, bathrooms and the tech room housing all the systems that are on board. I will speak to Rich Lazzara and see if I can share images on here.

That alone sounds very cool. I look forward to anything else he may share. Thanks.

I would enjoy seeing more photos of the yacht engine rooms. I think one of my favorite so far is Kismets ER. Speaking of engines, anybody take a close look at that MTU display? I couldnt even imagine the tension on those cables...

Thanks for the pictures gentlemen.

CaptTom · 02-20-2009, 12:56 PM

That Lazzara barge did at one time have engines, so I'm told. Saw a photo of her under her own power (hope the tug wasn't Photoshoped out).
Here are some pics of the MTU tower. Guy who set it up said those are real blocks, with two of them flywheel ready and good to go. The top cross section lifts out taking the top two engines with it. The next is then lifted alone. Pretty cool.

CaptTom · 02-20-2009, 12:58 PM

MTU lit up their engines at night, alternating colors.

It's an attention grabber, but it's not as impressive as it seems. Heck, if they can spin a Ford truck in a centrafuge (TV commercial) why not. Of cource I doubt I'd be picnicing underneath them (or sitting inside that truck)

Hi,

Tom I can't believe you swallowed the company line with that one

CaptTom · 02-20-2009, 02:02 PM

Sounded impressive. Must be missing a few pistons (me and the engines).

Yacht News · 02-20-2009, 07:09 PM

Great pics from the show Brandon, Manny and Capt Tom and others. Made people like me who can't be at the show feel like we were there...thanks!

CaptEvan · 02-21-2009, 07:47 AM

With the fabulous weather, there were other attractions abound. Capt.Tom may have captured a few which he could share?

And it was good to finally meet you Tom & Carl.

I think the tease of 6" spikes was on the other boat show thread. This one is just boats.

You'd think this site was about.....Oh yeah, ...this is YACHTForums.

Nice shots guys!
