$0 - Almost finished building my own blower motor due to mechanic losing his nerve after disassembling my boat 
Previously $200-$300/weekend (about 1/2 of 100 gal tank) on the Fox Chain @ $5/gal no ethenol 93 @ about 2 mpg so about 100 miles
Hopefully a lot starting Friday at 80 mph that only buys me 1.3 hr

Idk on how much total I have put but for 20gallons at 3.42 its about 69 bucks but that will get me about 2 to 4 hours run time... she has a serious drinking habit. Or I would like to say a gas alcoholic. Soo usually for me its get to where I need to be shut it down till need to leave..

It's a lot, but I don't want to leave to much $$$ for the kids to fight over when my time here is over.

Wow, I feel a bit better about my $1100 fill ups now. Then again, I guess it depends on how often the fill up cycle comes along.

LMAO !!!
I love you big cat guys boats but I cringe when I think of the sum of operating cost, maintenance, and insurance.
I've heard insurance is BIG.
This helps me come back to the real world when I get dusted by one and begin to dream of ownership.
I usually put in a half tank and it's around 400.
I've always asked myself "If these 525sc's suck this much fuel, I wonder how much those big HP powerplants consume"
Summer, thanks for the laugh
and Lastcall thanks for the thread.
See ya,

And for insurance vs value of the boat it really isn't that bad either as long as you aren't running 150! I'm paying about 50% more than the cost of my V Hull if you consider the value of the boat...
A friend of mine told me one day... "being cool ain't cheap!"
