Default Ignore the aesthetics, can it sail, and...WILL it be sailed?

I always thought those small (2-4 seater) Yamaha jet-drive boats looked like
fun, if one were into that sort of thing.

Scotty, if I wanna go fast, I'll ride my motorcycle.

I'm not sure who originated this, but it strikes a chord of
truthfulness with me. In fairness to Jim, though, if my dominant
criteria for selecting a boat were the ability to motor swiftly in
water less than 2' deep, well...I guess I would be depressed, but I
still wouldn't pick a Mac. He should have just gone ahead and bought
a pontoon motor boat with a grill on the back.
