$80-100K
300hp Verados run $20-25K each brand new.

Seems like a lot of money just to kill a few carp.

Take it you don't watch wicked tuna much.
First place in a lot of the off shore tournaments are now in excess of $1M. You need big boy toys with that amount of money is one the line.

That?s the cheap part. I see another $20+K sitting in the rod holders alone.

Seriously, what does it take to top that monster off? I'm guessing it has a +100 gallon tank, so maybe $4-5k per trip :/

better check your math. I have a 150 fuel tank on mine. $510 to fill up

Re: Humm...Fishin' boat or Bow rider with sunpad.........?

Oops, I added a zero Still, $510 is redorkulous. I don't think I spend $500 in gas a year :/ Are you allowed to cry at the pump while filling, or do you have to wait until safe on the water?

Sunpad.

Re: Humm...Fishin' boat or Bow rider with sunpad.........?

How much gas does that thing burn?

If you have to ask, you can't afford one. :faint2:

It looks like a charter rig, so I'm sure he gets more than enough to pay for the gas and rods and bait.

Sunpad.

Haha. I was just thinking, if I brought that boat home all my wife would have to say would be something like "cool, now where am I supposed to lay on it?"

On a side note, all the boats I see on Wicked Tuna seem to be single engine inboards.

Re: Humm...Fishin' boat or Bow rider with sunpad.........?

I wonder which set up is more efficient, the I/O tuna boat, or this do-it-all offshore monster? It seems like this might be faster, but the Tuna boat may be a bit more efficient for longer runs and carrying a large load. I don't see a fight chair on the back for bill fish, so it looks like this has more of a deep sea/charter set up. The big marlin boats here in FL are usually covered inboard mini-yachts more like the boats in the background of the pic.
