    Aristotle Onassis' yacht "Christina O", recently refitted & now available for charter at US$500,000 per week, was originally a Canadian destroyer in the 1950's.

    This can work out well as long as you understand the implications of adding weight & changing the center of gravity, and select a hull appropriate to your purpose. General Propulsion, Inc. of Palm Springs, CA, tel 760-770-4333, is one source for surplus navy boats, or try:
