A few years ago I sailed the San Juan Islands in the Schooner Zodiac out of Bellingham:

Buddy of mine has an old Ski Nautique. They used it as the medic boat for a wake comp last summer. For those that know wakeboarding, that's Parks Bonifay holding the flag in the back. Pretty funny.

If that thing doesn't have a foot-shaped gas pedal then I will be severely disappointed.

It would have to be, they're hand throttled by a dedicated throttle man. Too much backing off when the props come out of the water so the engine doesn't over rev.

Had a customer who was constantly bending pushrods in a pair of big block Chevy's, when I asked him what he was doing to keep having the same problem he told me he would run from Jones inlet to Fire Island inlet full throttle without ever touching them again. He then added "I'm not supposed to do that?"

We had a problem with 311 Formulas when they first started building them, Part of our sea trial was to do anything the customer may do with the boat, This included getting some air under the hull if possible, If you came down wrong the swim platform/muffler system would break off.

The same guy who owns The Sizzler clearly has a thing for wooden boats. Saw this one of his outside at the marina this morning.

Had small fishing boats and pontoons but this was the last one we had when living at the Lake of Ozarks. Harris Kayot with Brave 3 drive. Fun boat and lots of swim time for the kids while I sat in the shade with a cold one and tunes.

Boats seem to hold their value extremely well if you take care of them. I brought my Malibu up from the states about 5 years ago when the CDN peso was almost at par and it is worth more now then what I paid for it. By about $10,000

I didn't interact much with the big dogs, though.

He owns about a third of Falmouth Harbor. Keeps about 7 boats there ranging from 25ft-170ft or so. Also bought a bunch of waterfront in Woods Hole where he built a deepwater dock that can hold a 300+ft boat. His wife has another little spot on Penzance Point with a sweet dock an 10M house. He married well.

Is it porn when you build a lake in your back yard to float your boat? My nearby neighbor in the old hood.

That's as may be, but to dimiss the guy as having "married well" seems harsh, he's a co-founder of Boston Scientific, with $8.4bn in 2016 revenue, and a $37.2 bn market cap today. That's not nothing.

Meh- I snowboard and ski as well. The Yamaha vs. Merc argument is the aquatic version.
My Merc EFI's push that beast at 53mph. They are pretty quiet too. They do drink gas though.

Not sure if I'm a convert, but they are pretty nice for free engines. If I get a screaming deal on some 4 stroke Yammis, I'll definitely recore the transom and go for it. Boats with Yamahas sell for more.

The Ghost Ship.

Seen luxury cruises, World War II, been Thomas Edison's floating lab, and even a Madonna video. Now buried deep in the woods on a tributary to the Ohio River.

Holy shit, what's up Grizz? Long time, wow.

Anyways, if you like fast(ish) working boats, the Maine Lobster Boat races are cool. They have a whole series, with different classes, some of those boats are pretty crazy.

Fun little video:

Besides the obvious answer (Whatever boat your best friend has), what's the best type of boat for:
- spending weekends/long weekends for two adults and occasionally a small kid;
- must be able to pull tube/ski/board;
- toilet
-shower (not necessarily a bathroom...can be outside/deck type)
- given boat prices, it will probably be used (say < $30K)

Sure I could look at a boat forum...but I don't want to (and I'd probably get lost in rabbit hole).

Unless you want to get serious about wake sports, a pontoon fits the bill perfectly. If you can do without a toilet any smaller I/O runabout will cover your needs.
