The EntheoGenesis- a 100 ft trimaran floating fortress and center for enlightenment - 50k to build

Hey I read the thread about Shroomery Island and while the idea is intriguing I think that a fast, well defended, trimaran would be more ideal for living, adventure, exploration and cost. The Trimaran would be 100 foot long and made the basic structure would be stainless steel iron honeycomb beams fitted together in the shape of the trimaran. The "deck" would be tiled with like blue plastic with rubberized grips on them so that people don't fall. The pontoons of the trimaran would be a combination of rolled styrofoam, aerosol styrofoam, pressurized gas all capped and grouped together in a triangle by banding machine.
I have built a 20 foot one with my dad for 2000 dollars over the course of 3 months on the weekends. I'm confident that 50000 US dollars would cover all expenses needed to get this thing sailing, in the water and making money by exporting drugs/art/technology etc. Defense systems would include gases, bombs, RC helicopters with video cameras and guns mounted to them to take people out. There are many methods of collecting water and we can of course always refill the tanks while in an exotic port of call. Food can be caught and grown, we will have an ethnobotanical/entheogen and food garden based on aquaculture so we can have farm raised exotic fish. What are the rules? Everyone is the police, everyone is equal except Me because im so cool (I get 2 votes baby and a limited veto power :P), everyone serves in the military to one degree or another, not everyone needs to work persay... work can simply be tending to the plants or raising children... fishing, playing music out in the open spaces.
The only rule I can think of is that you may not harm or harass another physically or mentally.
So what do you think?
I would need approximately 10 people contributing 5k each all with enough cash to help me build this ship for 3 months before we can get in the water.

"Defense systems would include gases, bombs, RC helicopters with video cameras and guns mounted to them to take people out."
Pirates and Small Naval squads are easy enough to deter with gases/bombs /directed EMP pulses etc.
Depends on if its a gentle tender mindfuck or a rousing romping rape through hell...

We need at least a hectare. (100x100 meters) This and the ever moving seas will cause great strain on the structure.

The U.S. would delcare war on you for being a terrorist because you promote the scourge of the earth (entheogens) and then they would nuke you and steal all of your resources.

Wiccan I do not see the need for a hectare of living space between 10-100 people... the construction is flexible enough that making the ship bigger would be a simple matter of removing the outer layer and adding more honeycomb steel beams.
Trimarans are specially suited to the roughness of the waves, with three surfaces in the water.
Ok so why is the US going to waste a nuke on 100 people dealing drugs in constant motion?

Why not just buy and old oil tanker? The top deck could be covered in a greenhouse for agriculture and the old oil tanks could be converted to living space and storage. Plus we could paint the whole thing tie-dye or somthing and run the engines on bio-diesel. Green Peace would be climbing the sides just for the parties!

Screw biodiesel, what we'd need is a submarine nuclear reactor as our powersource, and a contract with Russia to fill er up every 5 years or so 
Then you can build an independent economy, but I don't think Greenpeace would climb the sides for a party

Any prebuilt ship in decent condition is going to cost WAY more than building one like I mentioned.
