The power race is nuts. How about this boat with 6! 400hp outboards on it. Thats around $300,000 just for the motors!

I think that's mostly just to show they are not the average poor person like most of us.  Before I sold my bass boat, I had to manage just how much running around I did, keeping it to no more than 5 to 10 gallons a trip, just so I could afford go more than once a month.  Probably take that much just to get out of the no-wake zone on one of those.  

When you figure a saltwater motor has an average life of less than 10 years before corrosion makes maintenance cost start getting ridiculous, that's a lot of depreciation. 

Granted, if fishing coastal waters I would prefer two motors for safety's sake, but six, that's a little overboard.
