With 600 gallons of fuel you should be able to run most of the day at
cruising speed.

Let's see, 4 hours out, 4 hours back, no reserve..... covering about
400 miles (conditions permitting).... for only about $1500.00.

Yeah, that's about what we spend, per day, boating....... I really
*do* like their boats, but I'm betting there are very few orders in
the 32' and up categories.....

52 gallons an hour at 47 mph... stupid is as stupid does.

Actually not that bad. For a big boat going fast, and near a mile per
gallon. Lots of smaller boats only get 1.5-2 mpg at a lot less speed and
comfort.

Don't know, but for sure there are a lot of high powered center
consoles running around here in south Florida and the Bahamas. The
mega-yacht crowd use them as dinghies.

A boat like that with Quads is flashy, no doubt about it. Triples are
a bit extreme too I'll admit.

But it sure is fun. :)

Besides, I hope that the Grady will work out for me - I've been
getting the itch to get back into the small party biz - I kind of miss
it and some of my older clients want me to - hey, it will pay for the
boat over five years or so.

Interestingly enough, I've heard that the charter bookings for next
summer are on pace with two years ago which is interesting.

I dunno - we'll see.

Heresy is buying a Chinese engine in a Japanese outboard.

At least I buy American engines built by a Canadian outboard company.

I understand Harry purchased his Chinese engine at Walmart.
