I watched. Throughout, I kept thinking about electrics and salt water...

That girl is stalking me (I wish). Now whenever I go to youtube there she is.

Yeah, that was my first thought too Paul. A bit too electric for a salt air and splashes type environment.

It should be a nice boat. It's priced at $3,100,000 to $3,250,900. Yes, that's three-million-plus.

Are you saying you'd rather be eaten by a shark?

I think the red/white/black color scheme pretty ugly. So I'm not buying it.

As for the women, she needs to be in a bikini.

probably 45 gph per motor at wot. so 270 gph

at cruise probably 20-25 per so 120-150 gph

but with a $3M dollar boat I don't think fuel price is the first concern

Also, you'd probably need to be able to afford that boat before she'd have anything to do with you.

no way its only 7-8 feet deep that far off of the coast. I know its shallow for the most part between Miami and the Bahamas but that doesnt seem right.

The Bahama basin occasionally has a depth of 30 feet, but it plunges more than 6,000 feet beyond that.
Still, there are some that make the trek via jet ski. I guess their reasoning is, drowning in 30' vs 6,000' is moot
