Here's a link to an op-ed piece about the philosophy of slow-boating.

The best line:

"If speed were free, would we want as much as we could get?"

Damn straight!!!! What the hell kind of question is that? :)

Here's my philosophy on speed - I have three boats what will turn a
fairly good clip - two in excess of 50 mph and one 14 footer that will
turn 35 mph. I have enough power to turn on the afterburners with
significant results if necessary.

The real question is how often is that necessary?

It's very rare for me.
