I can like a lot of different boats, it just depends on how they are done.
However, sound is something that just sticks out to me and there are two boats as such that I will never forget:
1) 38 Top Gun which was OldSchool's and now Kreed's; but back before Craig owned it. It had 1200s and passed us at full tilt on a narrow section of the James River, right next to an industrial plant. The sound and echo is something that is etched permanently into my brain.
2) 38 Top Gun which used to belong to Kevin Schulte. We were at Phil's place; and Phil fired the boat up on the trailer under the awning. The 750 Zul tunnel rams sounded like a NASCAR fleet going through a long aluminum tunnel. On the sea-trial, Kevin was up front with Phil, and I was in the back with his now wife, Kelly. The sound that those motors made with Phil running the ever living snot out of that boat was another brain etching moment.
