If they want to sell that reel they need to take that weenie grip off and put a real grip on.....
And they ought to talk to Tom about an aluminum frame.... ;D

Here's a much more 'cost-effective', bigger 'reel' for sale.  


Commercial longline reel - $600 (Ward)

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/boa/4227395527.html

This baby should hold about 35nm of 4.0mm diameter, 1000lb mono.  Complete with 'dry' level wind and hydraulic braking/retrieval system.  You will prob need about $1700 worth of hydraulic gear and an inboard motor or portable generator to complete the set up.  Would be possible to make it portable though.  

Another smaller hydraulic-based option would be to get the commercial 'shortline' /deepdrop bandit reel.  This baby will hold at least a mile of 500lb test mono on each interchangeable spool, and has an active drag.

Yet another more cost effective option is this electric pinch puller which is still in the developmental phase but will be much more cost effective at around $1500.  You need a seperate basket to store the loose line though.
