Boat (assuming you financed it for 10 years)(just to get a number) $15,000 Per month
Truck to haul it $3,000 per month
insurance for both $2,000 per month
full time Boat hauler/washer/mechanic $5,000 per month
Boat Fuel for one poker run and one fun weekend (116 race fuel) $11,000 per month
Truck Fuel and expences to poker run $2,500 per month
enter poker run plus a few additional hands (fpc) $1,200 per month
rebuild engines, trans, drives,ect. After one season (if your lucky) $3,000 per month
Break a prop, scratch some paint, ect. $1,800 per month
Storage $900 per month
Hotel rooms and entertainment while at poker run $3,500 per month
Flights to get to poker run (assuming you don't have private jet) $2,000 per month
Misc. $2,000 per month

Total $52,900 per month
Per hour total use $7,500 per hour

Don't anyone tell me my numbers are way to high. These are actual costs. I know several guys that spend more then this and would love to only spend this much doing it.

If it's any consolation procharged, I've pondered stealing CashBar's boat and riding off into the sunset toward Cuba, where I would use my prowess and rugged good looks to convince beautiful local women to become a guerrilla army and do my bidding.... But the logistics aren't right at the moment, so I'm stuck in my 24ft'er.

But just to clarify, that thing's insured, right Greg?!

The other end of the spectrum. Tristan is really budget conscience.
Cost of boat financed for 5 years $1.03 Per month
Engine ? (paddle) $8
rebuilds $0.10 per month
Truck to haul it. $0.00 (just carry it)
Insurance $0.00 (home owners insurance would cover it)
Fuel $2.40 (1 can RedBull)
Registration $1.80 per month (but hasn't been paid in 5 years)
It may not be the fastest at the poker run but will usually make it home with out breaking down.

Just FYI, my GF still has a LOT of pissed off family in Cuba. One pigeon-delivered message and you would be in for some bad days. LOL

Way to go, dream crusher!
