Take a look at the fees. A 25 footer will cost you $44,000 to enter with a 2 man crew and a 3 man tech crew. Then it is up from there. OUCH.

Let's see, that's big water out there in the Atlantic, so to be competitive, we'll need a big solid boat no more than 50-feet with big power. How 'bout a Magnum 50 (http://www.magnummarine.com/products/50/50_fr.html) with twin 1400 HP MTU/Detroit diesels.

My guess is that would set you back about $1.5M or maybe a little more. Plus $45K to enter the boat another $15K for three racers and another $12K for the technical crew and "others" and fuel for total of about $1.6M to $1.8M. But hay, if you didn't screw-up, you would have a very good chance of winning the $10 million!

All we need is the start-up capital. :D :D
