I would rather have the money it takes just to fill up that boat. Diesel is around 3.50gal. When it was around 2.50 it took around 3000.00 to fill up for an excursion. Now it is around 5000.00 for just a loop around Gulf just for diesel not to mention the Captain and deck hands. And then you have the slip. Unless your the owner of one that is the cheapest way is to just buy the slip and then if you happen to upgrade or downgrade you can just sell it with the Cruiser and that actually helps sell it. I could have a few good planes with what one fill up costs lol.
$5000? That should just about cover starting up and taxiing a 777 to the runway. Might cover takeoff if no delays. It burns @9 gals per mile cruising at altitude. And filling the fuel tanks is 47,890 gallons.
