Whatever happened to offshore go-fast boats?

I love them all too. Whatever gets you on the water. I do not see the deck boats advertised much anymore. I see a lot of bowriders, pontoons and wake boats mainly. And CCs. I don't think that Center Consoles will replace traditional go-fasts in the long run. Isn't the top speed on most CCs below 70 mph? If it can't hit 80, it's not a go-fast. 
So my Sonic is not a "go fast" and nor are many of the old "resin buckets" many here praise.
Let's try and rephrase that.

It feels go-fastish when she's WOT and she's heading South out in the Gulf like my avatar.

I am just glad I can clear up any misconceptions anyone might have when I fire it up at the ramp. Now I can ease their mind this is a cabin cruiser.......****....let me inform my insurance about this too. They are all wrong for so long.

The more popular drugs in the late 70's thru 80's made everyone want to do everything fast.
Clean
Run
Drive
Sex
Mow the yard
cut the trees
Sleep. No, not sleep. Maybe after 48hrs or so we'd catch a nap.
fast cars, fast women, fast boats...again......everyone did everything quadruple speed.
Today's society way more laid back,
Less manufacturing laborers - more office workers !
Also, remember, our Country is getting old. CC's are more popular for that reason alone.

Just saying that 80 is the new 70 and that most modern step hull Vees run well over 80 and most step hull CCs do not. No, I'm not putting down older boats so I probably should have said that a MODERN go-fast should run over 80! Anyway, to each his own and we all have that speed that we need to reach to get the thrills we seek in this sport. If you are happy with a 65 MPH CC with 10 people on board then that is certainly cool. I still don't see CCs replacing enclosed Vees in the long run though.

Center consoles are gay. Only puzzy azz loosers buy those things. They should be banned from this site and only be allowed on
