Subject: Some beach gear: A Submarine $80 MM
To: Graeme Boyce
Since pretty much everyone at the party has a yacht, why not bring
something a little more novel like a submarine. The Phoenix 1000
submarine is the ultimate personal transportation device. It has a
range of 3,000 nautical miles and can dive to 1000 feet. It is 65
meters long with 5000 sq. ft. of interior space on 4 levels. It has
five staterooms, five bathrooms, two kitchens, a gym, a wine cellar
and a 30-foot-long by 15-foot-wide observation portal. It is only
missing the torpedoes. The challenge here is, even if you pay the $80
million right away, your sub will take three and a half years to
build!

bigger. Here are some ideas:
