Great comments all. And truth be told, I did slightly exaggerate the boat's fuel consumption to match the car MPG with the boat GPH. With the 5.7LX she only sips about 21 GPH at WOT while making 55 MPH. I figure that's about 2.6 miles per gallon compared with my sweet Camaro which averages 26 miles per gallon.
A few other observations:
1. Wife finds no humor at all in B.O.A.T.=Break Out Another Thousand.
2. Big Red's main armament might be a 12-gauge flare gun, but I am her Master and Commander. She sails when I give the order.
3. Her mildly cammed V8 plays music through the wet stacks.
4. She is Coast Guard rated to carry not just the Captain and First Mate, but also eight bikini-clad passengers. Although they better be friends of the First Mate.
5. DUI laws apply, but open-container laws don't (so long as nobody drowns on my watch).
