TIME FOR US – 150' Tri-Deck Burger Boat Company, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, U.S.A. — On the heels of signing the majestic 144-foot (44 meter) MIRGAB V, history is once again being made at the renowned shipyard. Burger Boat Company is proud to announce the signing of the 150-foot (46 meter) Tri-Deck, TIME FOR US. This is the largest, most comprehensive yacht design and construction project in the Company’s storied and illustrious 141-year history. “TIME FOR US is a truly world-class, world-cruising motor yacht. There’s no question this magnificent yacht will give us a tremendous platform from which we can showcase our remarkable talents and skills that are available at our historic Company. What an incredible project to inaugurate our brand-new, state-of-the-art, 48,000 square-foot manufacturing complex.” states David Ross, President & CEO of Burger Boat Company. A highly respected American yachtsman who plans to cruise the world extensively commissioned TIME FOR US. She will be ABS certified, fully MCA compliant and will be available to charter in various unique cruising areas of the world. The owner states, “I’ve been in the construction business all my life as my father before me. I know quality and talent when I see it. After visiting many candidate shipyards around the globe for our special project, the spirited, dedicated and skilled people at Burger impressed us tremendously and made our decision easy.” TIME FOR US will have handicap accessibility featuring a four-level elevator. Tenders are positioned on the main deck level aft with opening side bulwarks and overhead gantry cranes for quick, easy deployment. The voluminous yacht will have over 6,500 sq. ft. (600 sq. meters) of interior space and almost 4,000 sq. ft. (375 sq. meters) of exterior space. She will have a 4,500 mile range and a top speed of 15.6 knots. All four guest cabins are configured as VIP suites and the interior design will be classical, elegant with use of raised-panel cherry and mahogany throughout. Delivery is scheduled for late 2006 and will further establish Burger’s commitment to the new, larger class of highly customized, distinctive, ocean-going yachts.

Time For Us; Progress Report from Burger Boat Company... With the hull and superstructure well underway on the 154' (47m) Tri-deck, TIME FOR US, the latest progress report looks excellent. The highly respected team at Vripack of The Netherlands and the Burger Design Team have joined forces to create a distinctive yacht of exceptional design and quality. Vripack has developed the structural and mechanical engineering along with a striking interior design and Burger is working diligently to assist, support and bring the effort to fruition. The interior renderings by Vripack were met with overwhelming approval by the owners as well as the shipyard and are being put in motion. The timing couldn’t possibly be better with the sizable $2+ million investment that Burger recently made in high-tech, computerized joiner equipment. Easily creating complicated, artistic design elements with the new custom dual-axis CNC router, CNC support equipment, a digitizer and custom software means the possibilities are truly limitless. The raised panel Honduras mahogany interior with molded shapes and curved details throughout is destined to be nothing short of stunning. Myrtle burl inlayed pillars are intended to depict a “Neo” Classical motif that will dress the boat with elegance and beautifully frame the concave fish tank dividing the salon and dining area. Fortunately, with over 6,500 sq. ft. (600 sq. meters) of interior space and almost 4,000 sq. ft. (375 sq. meters) of exterior space there is just enough room to house a grand piano. A full-size elevator will provide accessibility to all four levels. The U.S. owners intend to charter TIME FOR US which will have full ABS certification and MCA compliance. As this spectacular yacht represents the largest pleasure craft built by Burger to date, one can only imagine the pride that is shared in building this project and the anticipated celebration upon her completion. Delivery is expected in Mid-2006. BURGER BOAT COMPANY 1811 Spring Street Manitowoc, WI 54220 Tel: (920) 686-5104 www.BurgerBoat.com
