the SSA sold the Islander about a year ago for 500K to NY and it was being used as a ferry to Staten Island for a while I think. It was in bad shape...I was hoping they would turn in into an artificial reef to help save the south shore but I guess 500K looked pretty good to them.
Anyway you can pick up a 200' ferry in bad shape with good engines on the cheap!

My dream has always been to buy a vehicle like this (actually an old cruise ship would be better) turn it more into a fisherman's hotel, get a really strong anchor, drive it out to the canyon, and park it there it forever. You could go out there and live/fish/eat/entertain yourself for weeks at a time in a fisherman's paradise.
