I think our boy wants to give up the 30-second blasts across ponds and start running rollers out in the Atlantic. The former is OK but gets old after a while. The latter never does. Running a 10,000 lb vee up the back of a big swell, from a hole so deep you can't see the horizon, then jumping across to the next one is a pretty satisfying substitute for max speed. With or without the Miami Vice soundtrack.
Bill- the MV music is covered under under my Sonny Crockett Wannabe franchise. Please remit your check this morning.

If you get the platinum package, you can have an aluminum briefcase full of white powder, a black friend with a funny, unrecognizable accent and drive a kit car with overdubbed Ferrari sounds. You can also get a sound-effects device to make your blown big-blocks sound just like outboards. Or is it the other way around. Anyway, all this for one low monthly fee. Plus, we'll throw in the phone AND you can date Sheena Easton.

Then stick with a deep vee over 35 feet in length. Stick with a name brand because unless you spend a half-mil, you'll be wanting to upgrade in the first month or so. There's no such thing as "too much" in this game and you're going to probably need to sell it to get the next bigger/faster one. Scarab/Cig/Fountain sell better than the less-recognizable boats.

I wasn't suggesting he stay in a v-drive lake boat. Just that if he was in that fast of a lakeboat he's probably going to find himself gravitating toward a faster offshore boat.
