Re: Boat/Car model analogies and comparisons ?
All I know is that a car is ALOT cheaper than a boat. I just bought this A/C Cobra (Superformance replicar) for $60K with a custom 351 Windsor, bored & stroked to a 418 with 575HP. The car is absolutely immacualte. The engine is completely chromed. The car ROCKS!! It will run 3.6 to 0-60 and under 12 sec 1/4 mile (with the right driver) The car only weighs like 2450 lbs. I also bought a 24' enclosed trailer for $10K. I will use it to take the car on trips with the wife.
You can buy these cars as rollers (minus engine and tranny) or buy them slightly used. A new 427R (550HP) Roush engine with a 2yr/24K mile warranty is under $15K!!!
I realize to make an absolute "apples to apples" comparison, I would use a single engine boat. To clarify my comparison--I owned a twin screw and would only want a twin screw.
car= $60K
Engine= $4K (cost to rebuild)
trailer= $10K
Insurance= $700. yr
gallons of fuel= 17 (in a tankful)
boat= $100K+
Enigine(s) $16K (cost to rebuild both)
Trailer= $10K (Myco)
Insurance= $2,800. yr
gallons of fule= 200+ (one tankful)

The Exotic car comparisons should be for the high end $$$ cats. They are lightning fast and perform best on good weather days.

The OL would be more like a Lambo. Lower production, not as recognized, yet coveted by a an exclusive group of people who want to be a little different and unique.The Fountain would be the Corvette. Outstanding performance from a high production company at a reasonable price.
