The slightly smaller less equipped vessel will be faster, and you can just sleep at your South Beach home, 80 foot yacht, or favorite 5 star hotel. At that price point, it is getting into the range of people that do not have a budget. They also never seem to sleep on their boats

That is my best guess, not sure if it is an educated guess however

We agree on something! lol

That sucker past me while I was in Lake Tahoe. If anyone is familiar with south lake you know the roads aren't exactly roomy. I almost broke my neck watching it go by. It looks big on the water but it looks like the titanic on the trailer.

Obviously you have no experience with yachts of or any of the top level sport-fishing boats, which are any where from 35' an up. Everyone of them are fixed drive with a rudder. Where I boat, 50-80 foot sport-fishing boats are common with fixed drive and a rudder.

They have been that way long before an i/o ever came along. I have never had a problem, nor anyone I know with such a boat while docking, other than those inexperienced in docking.

Your opinion holds no merit, as the boat builders who build the real sport fishing boats, are considerably larger, and many times the cost of a any of the offshore boats on offshoreonly, yet stick with fixed drives and rudder.
