Tom, I figured you'd be upgrading to the Sea Vee 390 any day now. Surely
the price of gas will have no bearing:

"With a fuel capacity of 570 gallons, range can exceed 650 miles with
triple outboards"


Sounds economical to me. (not). $2500 fill-up for about 15 hours of
running time. (Site says the most economical speeds are at about 40
mph).


But once again it's somewhat relevant. What's the price on that thing
with 3 outboards? Something north of $500k?


Look again, the thing comes with *four* 300hp outboards!- Hide quoted text -

Yes, it does have an optional rigging of either 3 or 4 outboards. I
referenced the three outboard configuration as that is what the speed
and range claims are based upon.
