Oil Change --- $3,200!! Never complain again

That's right. $3,200 oil change, except it happens to be for a 43 ft CABO sport fishing boat. Twin 1,000 hp Man turbocharged diesels. Synthetic oil, of course.

Recently returned from a visit to Panama and fished with a friend and his boat. It's a given that you will come back with fish ---12 tuna and assortment of others. Sashimi from the water to the dinner plate.

So, if you paid by each pony (HP), we pay about .31 per horse for oil change (based on 215 HP, less on the SRT). The boat guy pays $1.60 per horse, of course.
