That's what happenes when you can buy nice new airworthy stuff. Just the gear reduction boxes for that setup are $100k each.. If you can find them. I figure by the time you buy the engines, install them, and get the power to the water, your probably between $500,000.00 and $750,000.00 EACH SIDE.

In a boat that small, unless you are staying very close you will want to come early and leave very late and take it easy. It will be very, very rough when everyone leaves.

We plan on taking it very easy. It was the biggest boat I could rent and not give my first born for. I do plan on doing both of what you said though. I recall last year how rough it got and also heard stories, so we will be making sure we take it slow and steady.

I am use to big waves from over here as I only boat in the gulf but the waves from all angles will be different.

The 10' holes are what will sneak up on you and get you. You'll be like, "Where did all the f@cking water go?!"

In 2006 on Sunday, we had a blast running the post-Shootout slop in the first Sunny F-4. This was back in the Shooter's 21 days.
