For instance
fuel capacity, or the hull, or what kind of engines a boat like that
must have and how many of them.

A guy I sail with was honored to ride a big motoryacht from the Western
end of the Panama Canal to the Monaco Boat Show, where the yacht was one
of the largest boats on display at 160'. It belongs to his boss.

An example of fuel usage on a fast yacht:
Panama Canal to Ft Lauderdale - 7200 US gallons
Ft Lauderdale to Bermuda - a little over 6000 gallons
Bermuda to Azores was different because they weren't going to make it at
planing speed with only 10,000 gallons of diesel aboard. So, about 60%
on the leg they had to slow the boat to a crawl to make it...Mark it
10,000 gallons....give or take a few.
Azores to Gibraltar, another 6500 gallons.
Gibraltar to Monaco he didn't know because he left the boat before the
FUEL BARGE came along side.

VISA, Mastercard, Discover, Barclays, Carte Blanche, etc., etc., accepted
by fuel barge operators worldwide.....(c;

It costs like hell to run a big yacht at 30 knots.....

I believe you. I just saw a yacht that if you were to fill it up at
the gas station it would cost you quarter million dollars to top it
up. SICK !!
