From Power and Motoryacht

"Katana earns recognition for having the most horsepower, thanks to her twin 5000hp Deutz engines and 18,500hp GE trubine, giving her a total of 28,500 hp."

And for those with a little extra cach

"Back in 1993 the second largest state owned yacht was Queen Elizabeth's 412'3" Britannia. That was the same year the queen faced having to pay income tax like everyone else, and the vessel was scheduled for decommissioning. Little wonder, really, since operating Britannia cost $575,000 per hour; that's more than $9,500 per minute."

Like this one too

"Lr Grand Bleu ranks numero uno in an interesting category: Having the largest tender. The current owner recently swapped the previous owner's 65-foot Guy Couach for a 75-foot Sunseaker."

Hey Pudder, ever think you could sell one of these as a Dingy?
