Very nice boats. Way pricy but very very nice boats!

Scout has always made some interesting fishing boats, but the idea of a
boat that size and weight with four 300+ gasoline outboards on it can
only make the oil companies smile.

That is why they make the 7 Marine ;-)
Two of them would make this a pretty fast boat.
Three would make it really fast.

Like Tim says, if money is an issue, you would not be buying this.

Well, i think the decision regarding the fuel burn should involved more
than "can I afford the gasoline."

Most of the people who buy boats like this, do not have the time to
actually use them much so I don't see the issue.

I bet they burned far more fuel in their Gulf Stream, just getting to
the boat.

Absolutely right. If you want to start limiting conspicuous
consumption of fossil fuels, start with the private jets. Boats are
almost efficient by comparison.

I wonder how much energy we could save by shutting down the internet
in Maryland?
