Straight out of the movie Key Largo

The Nuevo riche throwing their money about just lack the class of old money

Vsv Mary Slim. Possibly one of the first cruiser wave piercers?

Seen today….sometimes you just can’t beat a Chris Craft…

That's very charming!! Reminds me (a little) of my old mostly wooden (bar the hull) Freeman 30 from the 1960's.. I think wood is very hard to beat for sheer class.. I just hate looking after it.

A boat for people who don't like boating.
Get to your destination as quickly as possible - get it over and done with as quickly as possible.

What an odd take.

I use speed to greatly increase my horizons within the time available to me to go boating.

I don't go fast to 'get it over and done with as quickly as possible', I go fast to get much further within the same timeframe.

A few contenders for cool boats in my opinion:

If you look on youtube at some of the "Testing" in storm weather...pretty cool what it can handle and the engines sound superb!

There are plenty of clips on this guy's YT, but the little jet boat screaming with that roost is pretty cool.
