3x800 = 2400 HP means about 250 gallons per hour or about a thousand dollars per hour. And that's just the immediate cash flow required. Add in the maintenance expense of perhaps another $30K to $90K per year...
I don't know about you, but while it may be fun, I dunno if its THAT fun.

and dont bother with the "if you have to ask...." junk
I remember reading the owner of the Smokin Joe 43 Scarab with trip 900s spent something like $50,000/yr on fuel and that was years ago.

I'm sure Sunday will be around $900 with the prices they get up here.
Better not ba any more than that cause that's all the change I got in the console of my truck.
But I just have those little engines.
