To think I thought....

They can't quite figure where the tower goes but check out the anchor

But at least they have a stylish top

Yeah, I  dont get it. 

I realize its not a case of right or wrong just personal taste..But there are very few good looking boats out there.  Case in point, the new Ski Nautique.  I know, that horse has been beat to death, and you either like it or hate it, but I dont care for it. Id take the new 200 over that, with the understanding it is not as well regarded as a tournament level tug.

Runabouts are all just ordinary, nothing exceptional about any of them.  

Hard to believe you have to go back to the 60s-70s for cool looking sport boats, specifically the lower slung sportier Glastrons.  They were so far ahead of their time.  But then even they became incredibly ordinary.

I have always been a fan of low profile sport boats, Glastron, Baja, Checkmate, Tahiti...  That breed of boat is non existent now.  Not sure why.  Admittedly, not very functional, very little room inside for people or gear, but you would think there would be a faction of boaters that would like a sport boat just to bomb around in, but apparently no market for that.  I guess that market all went to jet skis or for the rich folks the big go fast boats (think lake norman, Lanier, Havasu...)  That preference for low slung boats led me to like old MC S&S's since they sat pretty low, the old pre malibu flightcrafts or the original moombas.

Me, I've always been a huge fan of v-drive flat bottoms, a big enough fan that I was within a guy accepting my very reasonable offer wiith cash in hand of one of those being my first boat.  Just as well. as they are incredibly pointless.  I rode in a friend's a few years ago and thought, well, that was fun, now what.  (my friend Kenny's v-drive)

Bottom line, No, there arent any particularly attractive boats any more.  Kind of like cars. In the 60s all the cars were different and stylish, no two alike.  Now everything is either a vanilla sedan, think Toyota Camry et al, or vanilla crossover, think anything from Kia to the indistinguishable Mercedes.  Ho hum.

My first 2 boats. Even that little Baja is a little thicker than I would have liked.  I had hoped to find a flat deck/no windshield Tahiti or similar but had no luck.
