just a regular gas powered 26-30' 'boat' is enough to make most blue collars cringe (if your ATM card has daily limits on gas figure out something else to pay with ).
God forbid you blow an engine...
Since yachts do something like 200 gallons (of diesel) per hour, and something like 7 gallons per mile - your mortgage payment is fairly quickly gone likely within an hour or 2 of cruising.
Turbo or NA?No shit. The 50' Bayliner we looked at had twin Cat 3208 diesels in it...something like 20-30 GPH each at WOT.
That really adds up quick at $5/gallon for marine delivery.
most of these guys, true :hmm:
pretty sure a yacht and a cruise ship are better than a US Navy submarine :awe:
i spent 8 times 70 days at sea of which about 99% was submerged, yeah 1.5 years under water is pretty sweet D:
not to mention when the evaporator breaks down and the showers and laundry are secured for two weeks
but i never had to hot rack like they do on fast attack subs, so i didn't get my cooties straight from another guys ballsack :whiste:

Submarines! Well let me tell you they'd be ahead of helicopters IF encountered as frequently.
I do prefer to be ON the water not below it even in squally weather. The motion of the ocean is relaxing especially in the sack.
I never said I was afraid of them. I just cringe when one is around and would love to have a staples button type thing I could press to make it disappear.
Seeing them in movies - no problem!
I just abhor them!
But, they don't have hybrid versions? :\
I did not realize they were THAT hard on gas though!
Why is that? Is it just the sound they make? I find they smell good too, whenever one lands at the hospital the smell of the fuel gets sucked into the HVAC intakes and we can smell it. We all get a little buzz of it.
