Go on the tubes and look at the Haulover inlet videos. Some serious coin flowing through that inlet. There's some money in Miami...

$450K in engines, $300K hull, $100K in rigging, electronics and Yeti ice chest.

I would say that set up is approaching $900K easy.

Sure it would. For one of them. Used probably

Figure  a $110 k per engine and probably 110- 220 k for the hull based on the fit out, a pretty shinny nickle. Ohff, inflation is a thing apparently.

That’s very close,  those are 400 V10 Verados, $50000 plus each without any bells or whistles.  Sparrow Toroidal props would add another $10000 each per prop.

So I just looked up Sharrow props. I've seen pictures of them but had no idea they were that expensive. That's bonkers to me.

Our uncle used to let me play on them and occasionally pay me to use such beast. Was never given the keys to such exotics. Thought the 21" skiffs on the river were pretty hot shit back in the day. Was pretty cool being an unlicensed/classified coxswain running full out on the Miss full bore with twin Murcury 110's. A hot rod of an aluminum boat, bass boats always gave a salute if you went in a straight line against them.

Work punts moving or retrieving river bouys, basically working against the current. All day. Since I was "unclassified" I couldn't leave sight of the ship. But I could scout, find diving bouys etc!

Anybody with enough $ to buy one doesn't give a fuck. Most of them are tax write-offs. Take clients on the company boat etc.

It depends.
Delivering product or you own the product ?
One run might not get you there.
The economic’s and ability of LE to catch you have changed significantly since the 80’s-90’s..early 2k’s.
You would have to carry a dam large load or get multiple runs without getting caught to justify the expense.

Ya know what really makes the numbers work ?
Stealing a boat and making the run.
Where I lived in the Bahamas we would chuckle a bit when a local boat got stolen.
I guess someone has a run to do.
We lost a lot of boats locally. Probably averaged 15 a year. Got so bad the insurance companies were talking about not carrying coverage outside the US.

The two center most engines have some extension on them to get the prop lower than the outside engines.  Cool, never knew that from watching the haulover inlet videos.

It depends on what you are doing with the boat.  54 Yellowfin can go 60 mph. No Viking or Hatteras is doing that. If you are trying to get to the fish those boats are better.

Yeah, those Verados on the boat OP Posted consume 50 gallons an hour. So that boat is consuming 200 gallons an hour at full throttle.

If those are 300hp, the engines are about $32k each. Nice boat.
Those are Yamaha, not Merc. Merc's are not tier-1 outboards. Those are probably larger than 300hp too.
