although I don't know the exact pricing.. the engines alone could add up to $80K easily. Probably closer to $100K, depending on what power adders you stick on. Crazy fun = crazy money these days. :lol:

I hope to get something similar some day, but I'll likely have spent $400K on (each of) my car(s) first. :D

Surprisingly the engine blocks (twin-525's) aren't THAT expensive considering. The list price for a new executioner is $220k... but each 525 engine block is probably 10-11k each. I guess you pay the big bucks for the hull. Luckily it's not ALL bad because I do get a tax break as it is a "2nd Home". I guess you have to pay to play just like anything else. So much for the winter home in florida.

Hmm.. that's pretty cheap engines. Weird, cause last time I priced engines around that range, they were starting at $20K. Hmmm...

Well you have to remember that the 525's are just blocks. You pay a considerable amount of money for the associative hardware such as the drives, which can get very expensive (BRAVO XR's). Not to mention the paint jobs can cost 50 grand alone on top of the price.

We've just had a boat build in turkey, much cheaper there than anywhere else in europe...
