I gotta get one of these, saw this cruising through the harbor this afternoon

the chopper kinda says "I am the $hit" huh?

Looks like a tight landing....

I cnt believe that they land it in that space, the landig pad must extend out. Some body has some major $$$.
usually don't see these sort of rigs around here, these guys usually stay in the warmer waters of the south pacific, Mediterainina or the Carrib.

I bet there a bunch of places to poop on that thing.

That chaps my A$$, I work my ass off through school, then working for years at a company and these highly respecatble, brilliant, inovative young lads are makin all the bucks

That's the "Attessa." It's owned by some guy from Montana, I think. It was called something else before it burned basically everything except the bulkheads. The Montana guy had it redone in Vancouver and he sails it in the Pacific mostly.

What is the registry on it, I didn’t recognize the flag, It looks like some British colony, maybe a Caribbean Island or something in the south pacific?

Found some links
Attessa

I don't know the registry. I just remembered reading something about it.

I googled up some more pics:

BTW, the helo does indeed take off/land from there. The pad doesn't move. The railings drop down to the horizontal so as not to hook a skid.

I've been researching:

It was the Aviva but caught on fire and the crew saved the boat and themselves. That guy in Montana bought it and refit it etc.

Before:

After, still in it's new shed:

Another view:

NICE BOAT!!! Holy smokes! Montana? Probably a Movie Star of some sort. I notice they bought my old helicopter...

Dennis Washington owns it.

33. Dennis Washington
By JOHN STUCKE of the Missoulian

Montana's self-made billionaire forged his economic empire the old way – building roads, mining copper and running a railroad.

Now he's a fixture on the Forbes magazine list of the richest 400.

In 1967 Dennis Washington borrowed $30,000 to buy a bulldozer, the beginning of his successful construction company.

Although he became rich operating his Missoula business, he didn't cement his powerful status as an industrialist until he bought and reopened the old Anaconda Co. mine in Butte in 1985.

With copper prices in the basement, Washington busted what was left of a once-powerful Butte mining union and halved an expensive work force into a lean moneymaker that is the envy of the industry.

Then the penny metal went through the roof. Washington made multiple millions, his managers and miners reaped fat profit-sharing checks and Butte's crumbling tax base received a needed boost.

As the risky mine venture paid, Washington turned to trains.

In 1987 he bought Montana's southern rail route, a 937-mile network stretching from east of Billings through Montana to Sandpoint, Idaho.

Burlington Northern divested itself of the line, and Washington turned his new Montana Rail Link into a competitive shipper of lumber, petroleum, ore, wheat and chemicals.

With these successful Montana businesses in hand, Washington made a failed attempt to gain control of Montana Power Co., a moved that would have returned control of the state's historical business powerhouses under the guidance of one person.

It never materialized and Washington quickly turned to other opportunities.

Among them was his rescue of Morrison Knudsen Corp. from bankruptcy in 1996, a move that bolstered his reputation as a takeover specialist of troubled firms.

Almost immediately the once-great construction firm that helped build Hoover Dam and nearly collapsed until Washington arrived, began to turn around. Today it is profitable.

He owns yachts and an island off the coast of British Columbia with a golf course.

In Missoula, his name adorns the state's top sport spot – Washington Grizzly Stadium, where football players thrill nearly 20,000 fans on autumn Saturdays.

When games are over, people flock to another Washington project – Reserve Street, where a new burst of chain stores are changing the retail shopping habits of western Montanans.

He has a shrewd circle of business friends and associates in Montana, where he calls home along with Palm Springs, Calif. In Montana, his combined businesses make him one of the largest employers in the state of Montana.

Dennis and Phyllis Washington also have established a philanthropic foundation with more than $12 million in assets. It gives money to education, youth activities, and senior citizen and human services groups.

Nothing comes close to Paul Allan's Octopus.

The back opens up to reveal(From what I remember seeing):

-A 50 foot yacht
-2 helicopters
-Vehicles (I hear theres a picture of an H2 in there but I can't find it).

I'll get my friend to send me the cool pics.

LOL
at 413' you could almost get a 100footer in there, I was going to guess that is probably 40 to 50 ft but looked it up and it is a 63 footer.
