Cost per pound

[peterkvs]

OK, it's winter and I'm bored, sometimes I like to think about what I am buying and what it costs per pound. We all know a great steak from the supermarket is $12-15 a pound and if you like to eat expensive steaks out, you can pay $60-70 a pound. A Sea Ray 400 Sundancer that might be worth about $120,000 weighs 22500 lbs and that's a cost of just over $5 a pound. What a deal. However, today I got in the mail a spring for my Lofrans Project 1000 windlass. It cost $30 and weighs 5 grams! That's 0.011 pounds at a cost of $2727 per pound. Could this be the most expensive part per pound on the boat?

Who can top that?

Wow!
Outside of a computer chip of some sort, I can't imagine anything more costly. You can't weigh a smile though. Plenty of those on a boat.

Only the initial prototype chips are expensive,once mass production starts on them they are pretty cheap.

I think the diamonds on the Admirals' fingers have got that beat by a bit. :grin:

You defiantly have too much time on your hands.

Mine is either the wife or my kids.

So far they're in a dead heat. I've carefully calculated the cost at just short of everything I have.
