More absurd yet has to be puching a 95-footer at 27knots. I wonder how
many gallons per minute that has to consume?

Let's count - one, two, many, lots.

95-feet isn't a boat, it's a business.

Damn straight. Really, 95 feet? That's just plain ridiculous.

Then again, look at some of the homes people with that kind of
monetary horsepower build - 5000 sq ft for three.

I dont' get it.

Kind of fun to go fast in a big boat. Took the Fast Ferry boat from
Barcelona to Majorca in 2001. 97 meters not feet and did 47 knots. And
the boat carries 300 cars and a few semi's amd 800 passengers at that speed.
.. . in comfort. Had to slow to about 40 returning as there were some 10'
seas about. Jetdrive and 38,000 HP!
