Power Boats

My dad always had power boats when I was growing up.  Most of the family called them "holes in the water that you throw money into".  :smile:

If I were able to afford a speed boat here in Subic, I would like one like the one I saw today.  I was going by Petron and saw this one filling up, and noted the huge outboards on it, so I pulled in to take a pic.  2 X 350 hp Yamahas, 700 hp!  I looked up the Yamaha website, and those are both 5.3 L V8s!

The hull is an 33 ft. Airship and I had never see one like it, so I looked them up too.  Interesting design!

It holds about 750 liters of fuel, so at p35 / liter it would cost you about p26,000 to fill-er-up!  We noted that there was not a tow vehicle hooked up.  It probably takes so long they disconnect and go do errands!

Bottom line is, does anyone have $100,000 I can borrow?

For that price I would expect it to be a six wheel drive amphibian!

350 hp outboard will burn close to 35 gallons of fuel per hour at wide open = (fast fun)  x two engines.  Well that full tank of fuel will last you almost 3 hours of fun!  I remember when gasoline hit $1.50 a gallon in the US many years ago, it wasn't fun anymore.  Sold the boats.

You should try it in the UK. It's about $5.78 a gallon.

Might be fun if you could rent one. I doubt I would want to own one though.

In the pic, from the angle of the motor, it looks like he is having trouble keeping the bow down.

Sure, 5-6 pm is fine.  Text me when you get close.  Keep the p10,000 bundles intact so it is easier to count.

Thanks!
