Small fast boats that require real skill to get the best out of give the most satisfaction on the water. The knowledge that your average joe couldnt jump in and run it to its potential is a great feeling.

Agree with Team Saris. Most fun I ever had, along with most scared I have ever been, in a boat was my 90+ mph 24 Pantera. You had to DRIVE that boat!

Yup. I grew up on an all-but flatbottom 21’ Nordic hull, originally intended for a jet drive, with a 900HP blown 482 V-drive that would run 85MPH. My dad often called it the “homesick angel”. I can distinctly remember dad sawing on the wheel whenever we ran it hard. It seemed like a lot of work.
