Wally makes some crazy looking stuff! Look at there sailboats!

I dislike it because I don't like modern boats, but I can't deny it looks amazing. Its also crazy expensive! The future isn't cheap!

Crazy expensive, geesh thats an understatement.

20+ M as in Million fully outfitted.

Running at 60 knots on 16k hp (3x 5600) gas turbines you are sucking down 15 gallons / minute.

Not a worry for those less fortunate, there is a diesel version.

They run Cummins 5.9L diesels when they're not on the turbines.

Actualy I thought it was $35m. I remember PMY had a nice article about it when it first came out.

The Wally 118 is really nother new anymore, its probably 5 years old now.

As for the fuel burn, as they say if you have to ask... Most larger boats are pretty pricey to fill, and most of the owners don't five a damn.
