How many peanuts does it take to buy a $24 million boat?

At the current rate of $432 average per ton..........55,555.55 tons for a $24 million boat.    ;D  ;D

Not to mention given the inability of most people to tow a trailer I hate to see the rusky back up that bad boy into the water on a slip way.  ;D

WOW TW.  I've got a 1989 Sleek Craft that could use a little work if your interested.

If I ever get a little time off and extra cash I'd love to come and here some war stories.  I love being on the water. (even though I can't swim a lick)

26,421 Tons.

The Peanut prices for April 14th.  I used the price of Virginia Peanuts  TW stated 4.5mil for the boat 6-7mil for the repairs.  I used 11.5 million as the price.

11,500,000 / 435.26 = 26420.989753250930478334788402334

Weekly Market Price of Peanuts
April 14, 2010
      * $431.40 per ton for Runner peanuts
      * $427.11 per ton for Spanish peanuts
      * $435.26 per ton for Valencia peanuts
      * $435.26 per ton for Virginia peanuts


If someone else can find out how many peanuts are in a tone, we will have our number.

 :D :D :D :D

TW, we should all just give thanks there's work for yacht ethnics these days.  Even if a Ruskie is paying for it, it's American dollars employing American boat workers--and there hasn't been a whole lot of that going on.  And it's a good thing you can collect some overtime to boot.  None of the boats I ever worked on had that much room to actually work.  Most required human contortions that I can no longer accomplish.  She does look to be a beauty, though.

Average size peanuts are 50 to an ounce and that comes out to 1.6 million peanuts/ton which equals 42,273,600,000 peanuts total

Well, there is some of that, and I am finding it harder to bend and contort myself as well.

The removable deckplates in the engine room hide a bunch of pumps, valves, and level indicators all monitored by "Simon" an automated, interactive, talking computer system, that is also part of our refit.

Remember Hal in 2001 Space Odyssey? Just like that. "We have a problem with J-8 Valve Dave",...kinda creepy.... :o

But it's work, and I'm thankful for it.
