Could I afford one even if I won this weeks euro jackpot?
Just out of curiousity I have tried to find a price online and well I can't so therefore its got to be mega expensive?!

Fantastic photography, nice boats too.
Off the shelf bog standard thing starts at 400,000 odd. But a proper (like Jase's) bespoke jobby is 2.1 million.
Deftly mixing the old and new, the 19-metre boat is made from mahogany and ply using time-honoured construction techniques.
The streamlined lines have been put together meticulously - no screws or bits of plastic are visible on the exterior - and below the deck three Rolls Royce engines make it capable of a blistering 40 knots. The interior is not too shabby either, with the seats alone taking six months to make.
It's an incredible boat with a fittingly huge price tag: one of these bespoke models will set you back a hefty £2.1million.

What do you do with the dirty plates and glasses? I suppose one would just throw them over board and buy new.

Sorry, I should have known, seeing that I came across his gaff not very far away.
Mind you, you'd think he'd keep the timberwork up a bit better.
