After years of riding with me a Buddy bought a 32 fountain, sunk a ton of money into it. Barely got to use the thing. Seemed he would fix something and the next time out something else happened. Had a new trailer built, new interior, covers, etc... He finally dumped the thing as he had enough. I sold mine last year too. Just not worth it to me anymore for how much we used it.

Bought my first 89' Webbcraft Velota 7M in June of 2014. Sold it and just picked up a 25 outlaw few weeks that I'm rigging. Oh and Im 19 and only wish my parents would help me pay for this terrible habit Ive got going on.

Somewhat relevant to the question is what do you call a performance boat? My first Donzi 16 was a 1965 with a Holman and Moody engine in it. I ran it from 1976 until 2000. The kids down the block had a faster 1970 16" Donzi with a VolvoPenta AQ260 350 c.i. engine in it. They got enamored with scurfing and I bought their boat. I added a DuoDrive to the Volvo outdrive and ran it for 24 years.I then sold it back to them for the same cost I had purchased it for. My present drive is a modified 18" Donzi Testarosa with a 454 MerCruiser that gets me to 88 mph on the GPS. At age 77 it is enough. Performance is in the eyes of the captain.
