Chapter 206: Buying a speedboat
After Ye Luo and the others returned to the island, McCojie couldn't wait to inspect the environment on the island, and originally planned to accompany him, but McCojie refused.
It's just that considering that he is old, his body will not be able to stand it after walking for a long time, so in the end, he only took Xia Xiaofei and a few of his assistants and drove away.
And Ye Luo took Dast and others to Newfoundland again to purchase a dinghy.
Soon.
After Ye Luo and the others came to the dock on Newfoundland, Ye Luo called Rock Hudson to ask about the speedboat, but Rock Hudson told Ye Luo that his shop could not afford this task, and asked them to go to the free market to have a look, there are many things there.
The Freelance Market is an iconic Newfoundland island, located on the shores of a bay northeast of the town, and this market is not a vegetable market of small stalls, but full of large shops selling fishing boat accessories and sea catch.
The group took a ride to the free market, Ye Luo said to Daxter and a few people: "You should be more familiar with me here, let's go see the dinghy first, buy a few open boats or deck boats, etc., usually go to sea to investigate the fish and drive them, fast and fuel-efficient, and very stylish." ”
"I'll assemble this, boss, what style do you like?" Thomas took over without saying a word.
Generally speaking, yachts are classified according to their length, under six meters are mini boats, six to eleven meters are small boats, between 11 meters and 20 meters are medium boats, and more than 20 meters are large yachts.
As for the common luxury yachts in the movie, almost all of them are forty meters away, and this thing is not in Ye Luo's consideration, after all, he already has one.
An open boat is a motorized dinghy that can seat four to eight people, suitable for competition, fishing, and towing wakeboards, mainly for recreational activities.
There is no main cabin below the lower deck, and the front deck of the bridge is made into an open groove type, which can be arranged for extra seats to go for a ride, sunbathe, and of course, to carry fish.
One of the advantages of an open boat is that if you are running on the sea, the person sitting in the grooved seat in front of the bridge will feel like you are riding on the crest of the wave and can enjoy the thrill of riding the wind and waves.
Ye Luo said curiously: "Tell me what style you have?"
Thomas said without hesitation: "The dinghy is generally divided into four design styles, the Chromian style is called the romantic style, which reflects the luxury and elegance, the American style is called the free style, which pays great attention to personalized design, the British style is called the aristocratic style, which reflects the traditional and elegant aristocratic atmosphere everywhere, and then the Southeast Asian style that has not been around for a long time, which is simple, generous and affordable. ”
"Hmmm......"
Ye Luo thought for a while and said, "Why don't you buy one of the four styles?" Anyway, they are all docked on the dock, and when the time comes, any of you can go to sea and drive whichever style you want." ”
Cromean-style boats can go out fishing, Southeast Asian-style boats can go out to sea to check the fish, and American-style personalized design and British style elegant aristocratic atmosphere are more popular with girls.
You must know that there are a lot of women on the island, not to mention his own women, not to mention that Dast and his wives are a large group combined.
Although Daxter's wife also has fishing experience, Ye Luo doesn't plan to let women do this kind of hard work, instead of fishing with Daxter and them, it is better to do some simple work, such as being in charge of the farm at that time, or let them be in charge of the employees' daily work
Meals are fine.
Then it was time for Thomas to show his ability, he took Ye Luo to choose the hull material first, the Cromeian-style open-boat chose fiberglass, the Southeast Asian-style open-top boat chose aluminum alloy, and the British style and American style both used fiberglass and aluminum alloy together.
FRP is a mainstream material, which has been exhibited for more than 60 years, with good appearance, good fatigue resistance, no magnetism, corrosion resistance, strong designability, and good formability. Aluminum alloy materials are durable, long-lasting, easy to maintain, and can be recycled, so this material selection is the most suitable.
Thomas's choice of fiberglass hull is almost translucent, so that after entering the ocean, it is particularly beautiful, and the aluminum alloy material he made the brush red, the red color is the most obvious in the ocean, to prevent no one from going to sea in the future.
After choosing the hull, what you have to choose is the most important power plant, the open boat and deck boat are outboard, Thomas wanted to choose the Nissan Yamaha motive, but Ye Luo refused without hesitation: "Man, I think the Mercury motive is also good, my motorboat uses the Mercury, very good." ”
Thomas thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "If you don't buy a Yamaha motive, don't use the Mercury, just change to the German MAR motive, it uses new technologies, such as high-power fuel injection through a porous nozzle, medium-range pressurization and air cooling, under the premise of the same price range, this motive is lighter than the Mercury design, the power is also more powerful, and it is more durable, but the price is higher." ”
"If you choose something from the Germans, then MTU is not bad, I have MTU16V396TE2O1O diesel engine here, the Germans used to use this thing to power military ships, it uses electronically controlled fuel common rail technology, how about it?" Rock Hudson naturally followed Ye Luo and the others to join in the fun, although his shop was small and there were not many things, and now when he heard Ye Luo and what they were talking about, he happened to have it in his own store, and hurriedly promoted his own things.
"That's fine, man and mtu can choose one each. Ye Luo put down his mobile phone and said, just now he used his mobile phone to check the relevant information on the Internet, and knew that the electronically controlled fuel common rail technology can be said to be the highest level of yacht motivation now.
The hull and motivation are selected, and the propeller must be equipped, and Daxter introduced to Ye Luo, which are all professional parameters such as pitch, diameter, and disc ratio.
The Southeast Asian-style open-tops opted for the controllable-pitch propeller, while the Chromian-style open-tops opted for waterjets, and the British and American styles also used waterjets.
The thruster is not generated by the thruster, but by the jet pump to suck water through the nozzle, through the rotor and rectified by the stator, and then ejected out.
When Ye Luo designed these four open boats, he tried to make the Cromean style boat as tall and luxurious as possible, while the Southeast Asian style boat was durable, simple and practical, and the American style and British style combined the above two while also carrying their own style.
Originally, Ye Luo thought that the matter would be over with the hull, motivation and propeller.
Unexpectedly, the meticulous work has just begun, and Thomas also has to choose the yacht's power station, bridge, control system, navigation equipment, navigation lights, anchoring equipment, rudder equipment, cabin equipment and drainage equipment......
At this time, Ye Luo was dazzled by these things, he once thought that it was troublesome enough to be equipped with a computer, but now he knows that it is more than ten times more troublesome to be equipped with a yacht than with a computer.
In desperation, he could only let Thomas and Roque Hudson choose these things, and he called Mina and the others to ask what kind of decorations they wanted, and took Daxter and the others to buy them.
The group moved in two directions, and it was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that the necessary accessories for the yacht were bought.
The four open boats cost more than $2 million, the Southeast Asian style cost 200,000, the Cromean style nearly 300,000, the American style more than 500,000, and the final British style almost a million.
In fact, almost all the accessories used in the four speedboats are the same, the only difference is the decorations on the decoration, mainly because it costs a lot of money, so the price is so expensive.
Having made a fortune, Rock Hudson decided to treat him, and although it was past lunchtime, he still took Ye Luo and his party to the very famous 'Sea Palace' restaurant on Newfoundland.
This restaurant is actually built on the ocean, of course, its area is not large, three or four hundred square meters of the restaurant is made of organic bulletproof glass flooring, so that when you walk into the restaurant, you feel like you are walking on the water.
Roque Hudson booked a seat near the edge of the restaurant, leaning against the fiberglass fence, with the ocean outside, with the wind blowing, the waves raging, and the occasional seagull chirping as it flew by.
"This place is really nice. ”
Ye Luo leaned back on the chair that could be lowered and said with a smile: "Rock Hudson, I can't see that you are still a person who knows how to live." ”
Rock Hudson laughed, "Haha... You are wrong about this, I know the life of a fart, I know that you are a capitalist who likes this kind of occasion, I usually don't come to eat, the things here are simply used to slaughter people, the same cod, you can buy it for five yuan outside, and you can buy it for five hundred yuan here!"
At this time, the waitress sent an appetizer syrup, and Rock Hudson suddenly felt like he was being caught, and his face suddenly became embarrassed, after all, in front of other people's waiters, he said that people's restaurants were black, and if it was behind his back, it was fine, but when he said it in front of others, it was heard, and it was as embarrassing as it was.
Fortunately, the waiter didn't say anything, but put down what he was holding and left.
After drinking the appetizing maple sugar truffle, everyone saw the waitress who brought the maple fried salmon again, and Rock Hudson introduced: "There are a thousand restaurants in Newfoundland that make maple fried salmon, but at least 990 can't compare to here, try it, guys, it tastes really good." ”
Maple salmon is marinated in pepper and cinnamon powder, then pan-fried over low heat, served with shimmered potatoes and shredded vegetables, and then drizzled with maple sugar.
Rockhudson also ordered a Maine lobster that weighed five pounds, and he said: "You can't eat this guy anywhere else, this lobster comes from the deep sea of the Arctic Circle, and it takes thirty or forty years to grow to five pounds!"
Ye Luo saw this kind of lobster for the first time today, and as for the size of this lobster, he has seen a lot, and there is no sense of novelty, but what it means.
He peeled off the chitin hard shell on the shrimp crow, revealing the snow-white and delicate shrimp meat, dipped in mustard and tasted, fresh and exciting, it was simply refreshing to the bone.
Swallowing the lobster meat in his mouth, Ye Luo's eyes lit up slightly and said, "It tastes good." ”
In addition, there are maple roast turkey, charcoal grilled lamb chops, and the main dish is funnel cake, which is very enjoyable for lunch.
