need for speed

SWEET... But I'll bet my 6kt barge is a lot more comfortable.

At my age speed just isn't that important.
 
How would you like to hit a submerged log at that speed??
 
Wow. I don't see the point, it seems to me it would get old fast, but if I were rich and could have one of everything I supose then.

I guess my response is the same. Ho Hum....Boring. Big deal! Same with any go fast boat that can't do anything but....well....go fast.

You can't fish off it. You can't swimm off it. You can't have a conversation while running it. It has no room for socializing. It has no head. You can't cruise with it. You annoy hundreds, maybe thousands, with your noise.

Just what IS the point?

I'll keep my 18kt single diesel thankyou.

If you leave out the fishing part ..... I do all of the above in my go fast. I suppose I could also fish but it always seemed like more like work then fun. <g> Of course I only do 75mph not 193!
 
All things considered I'd rather have that outboard-powered "trawler" on the other post.
 
Having been into fast cars most of my life, I can appreciate the go fast boats and while most of my dock mates hate the noise they make idling in or out of our marina I love the sound of pure performance and it is music to my ears. As in everything though there are limits that can easily be crossed and sounds can turn from acceptable to offensive quickly and some respect for those who might be offended by the noise should also be shown.
But I have no desire to own or even ride in one of these speed boats as my boating preference leans toward the classic traditional design of a motor yacht or sail boat, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
