Last night it was on the extreme ocean racers. Good show.
Props only 18K each. Motors rebuilt in only 2 days for $100,000. It has come to my attention that 180+ MPH over 4-5 foot rollers causing to boat to be airbourn for 100 yards is really fast.

Yeah he did. The guy won't shut up till they passed about 120 then not a word. Only took him to 170 though.

Watched the show. Was pretty cool. I can't believe how much money they spend though! $50k parts for the engine! $20k for just one prop! Crazy shizat.

The 50k was only the one part, compressor fin, that they tossed in the trash can. And that Prop did come in a nice carrying case.

The warranty period was only 3 laps. 200k, the other motor was badly over-heated, think they said 800 degrees
