My buddy Bijan took us out on his speed boat this weekend. He paid something like $250,000 for this 38 foot long beast previously owned by Don Johnson. I was kind of shocked when he pulled up at the dock. This thing was HUGE!

I think he said the boat holds 240 gallons of gas, weighs over 11,500 pounds and gets less than 1 mile per gallon. Well, we hit close to 80 MPH a number of times and what a rush that was. We had to wear some serious ear protection while sitting in the back. I tried to get some great still photos inside and outside of the boat. The pirate ship from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, the Black Pearl, was docked near where we launched. We also cruised by some serious transport ships. The videos pick up on the wind noise, but hopefully you can see what it is like to travel nearly 80 MPH on the ocean! The last video is just of the engine bay while at idle.
