If you can run 70mph in a 38 Scarab in 5 footers and almost drink a cup of coffee, either your speedometer doesn't work or your tape measure is way off.

Thr downside to a twin engine boat for me is the cramped engine room, the double maintenance cost, not to mention the fuel cost (since the gas is more than $ 7.50 per gallon where I live...)

The main problem, however, is that by springtime next year I have nowhere to store my current boat.
...but a 30' boat is welcome at the local harbor...

Don't judge others by your own standards.
