And that's a drop in the ocean compared to the litigation costs!

Did you know the Americas Cup was a originally a trophy for a sailing race, before it became a trophy for litigation practice?

Just put on a speedo and pick up a gal who owns one!

On the other hand my last boat was a early 60's 14 foot sears hull with fins and it had a rebuilt 65 1968 merc on it and it did 50 MPh - 400 CAD straight up.
:)
that was fun.
