If you are ever tempted to do the math on car ownership, PLEASE don't ever attempt to do the math on boat ownership!!!!! :)

If it flies, floats, or ..... it's been said you are better off renting. ;)

Sounds a bit of a bargain to me :rolleyes: In fact knowing what boats can cost it sounds reasonable :eek:

About 40 years ago I worked for a friend running a Ford Retail Dealership that he had inherited from his Uncle. He knew nothing abut cars as he was a Baker. :)

He said to me one day 'I won't be around to-morrow, I fancy buying a boat and I am going down to the Hamble to look at one and possibly take it out for a run'. :)

When I saw him the next day he said 'I won't be having one of them then, we only went around the Isle of Wight and I can't believe how much fuel it used' that was the last we talked about boats. :D

I went out in a boat that consumed 59 gallons per hr powered by a 1500hp cat diesel and rolls royce water jet. It was fun and what was even better was i was not paying the fuel bill .. It was pretty awesome actually as one rarely gets to go on a boat where i couldnt even afford to fill it up ! Mary_Slim.jpg

The last “boat” I was on would consume a gallon in less than a minute, in each of its RR Olympus turbine engines when cruising at 30 knots.

At least my sports boat leans into the turns.
Very uncomfortable when they lean the wrong way.

The last "Ship" I was on.. no idea of fuel consumption in the steam turbines as that wasn't something I was even vaguely interested in :p (If you have to ask you can't afford it...):cool:

I had a outboard powered cat that didnt lean at all but tried to throw you out in corners.. the g force was tremendous.
Never was brave enough to see how much grip it actually had...

Let me guess - a Hobie with a Johnson.

My business looks after5 120+ sports boats from 5m to 11m. Th ere are some serious prformance hulls out there and the trend is for bigger engines. I have several with twin 275hp outboards (on a 9m RIB). Can't touch the Americans though as "gas" is sooooo much cheaper there :(

Whereas this lightweight aluminium boat was just insane with a 2 stroke, so was the fuel consumption ! IMG_0414.JPG

So cigarette racing build the hull, mercury provide the engines , garmin the electronics and Italian design house Poltrona Frau have designed the interior, that just leaves the stickers ?
6 x 400 hp equates to 3.17 gallons per minute .. I think i will pass on that one.

So the whole front end is a fuel tank then?:D
