I don't know about you, but while it may be fun, I dunno if its THAT fun.
Just for fun any guys with boats like this.....how much would you spend in todays fuel prices for a day of hard running...like in a Poker Run?

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.

The most i've ever spent on fuel for the season was $8800
Even if that 47 doubled that....it would be worth it.
