A qualified second opinion is needed. Opening line of the article puts Kerry’s 75’ sailboat as being worth $7,000,000.

I think that’s pie in the sky. Your take?

Seven million is a bit much for a rag bigger of that size but if it is maxed out with desalination, big screen, etc. it could go that high. I have seen boats I liked better for less. I knew a guy picked up a 50 foot Buddy Davis for $375K once. She was a beauty.

That little boat could not possibly be Kerry's 75 foot sailboat. Why do they have a picture of that? Now the inside pictures looks like they could be taken on a 75 foot yacht. I wonder why they are not showing the outside of his yacht?

More like a Walmart 75 ft packet boat.......

We build yachts and he got a good deal on that boat. We are currently finishing a $9 million dollar boat.The materials and equipment in those things is what really drives the price up.

7 million is very plausible for a 75 footer, if it's built and maintained to the top standards, such as a Hinckley, Oyster, Swan etc.

I could build a terrific 75 footer for under a million easy, but it would not have that Rolls-Royce/Jaguar finish.
