I believe their goal (which they're pretty far along with), is to have $750K/boat

() From my knowledge of the Naval Academy boats in Annapolis -- which as others have pointed-out is similar -- they get used pretty hard and pretty often. I wouldn't think that if you "gave" the Naval Academy a fleet of Beneteau, Catalina, or Hunter boats, they would last very long without a lot of maintenance.
If what they suggest is correct, they've already raised $5.25 Million or over $650K/Boat.
