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.

Or he has a sippee cup so he doesnt spill....

it is probably a "smokeless" coffee (alcohol).

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...

...but you can measure 5' waves with a tape measure? 🤪

Don't judge others by your own standards.
