JUST IMAGINE THIS .....

Had to check a Mercury 450 is rated to consume 38 gallons an hour at wide open throttle. Multiple that by 4 engines and then consider an average gas price to $3 a gallon. Thet puts a man at $450 a hout plus for fuel. Cost lots of money to run with the big dawgs.

That is a big mamma jamma. It is bigger than some of the ponds I fished as a child. Some people are blessed to afford something like that. I guess I was standing in the wrong line when those blessings were issued. I was in the 14-17 used boat line for sale. No regrets though.

I suppose to each his own , but if I had money to burn like that and it would not surprise me if that rig was close to a million , I would burn it elsewhere at my age , now back when I was in my twenties , yep that would a been a yes sir rig for sure .....

Plus, if they are buying gas at a marina, depending on what part of the country you are in, the cost per gallon goes to 4 or 5 per gallon, which quickly makes it $600 to $750 per hour!! I'm with you! Even if I could afford it, that's not for me!!

Boats like that catch more bikinis than fish. My wife would have a fit if I caught a bikini 👙 and brought it in the boat for photos and then release it. Divorce lawyers would be higher than the gas bill. I will stick to the 60 hp merc

more horsepower typically equals more stupidity from what I remember on the subject as a younger man

If I’m burning fuel at that rate I’ll be in the air!

If they are 450's they're about 60K each so about 1/4 million in just motors. They might be bigger, seen some 6 and 700's at LOZ.

i saw 450 across the top of them as i passed it , bet the boat was in the stupid high dollar range , it might have been 30 foot or better , when i said 25 it comes to mind it was about as long as an 18 wheeler trailer
