Yep.
The latest Sport Fishing magazine has a profile of a 42' Yellowfin
center console with FOUR 300-hp outboards. Engines burn 113 gph at WOT
(67 mph) but only (!) 41 gph at a 40 mph cruise.
Well, fools and their money are soon parted, but I believe anyone who
buys one of these deserves to be hit with some sort of horrific fuel
wastage tax, maybe a non-tax deductible charge of, say, $20,000 just for
owning such a resource waster.
Boats and fuel wastage like this just puts us all deeper in the hole to
the Saudi pigs.
Here is an even bigger way to get deeper into the hole. How much more
should those folks pay?

That is one ugly ship. Looks like a wedding cake.
Once I figure out how to use Reggie's picture site, I'll post a picture of
a pretty ship.
