Harry,
You left out the really fun stuff,like having to hook a tractor to your lo-tech boat to move it. Also you left out the part about what the sterns of the Hi-tech boats look like. I'll spend a little more effort and cash to go alot faster. And YES I would give the helm of my $20,000 dollar boat to a 14 year old if they were experienced enough to handle it. The Hi-tech boats are actually more forgiving than older dacron powered heavyweights.
Kinda sounds like sour grapes on your part.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
