The only thing that actually grabbed my attention and in fact made me
laugh out loud, was a couple of Grady White models, both around 30' or
a little more, that had of all things, bow thrusters lol! I couldn't
believe my eyes. Sort of one of those "you've GOT to be kiddin' me"
moments. I guess they're for guys that have otherwise run completely
out of ways to spend their money. Neither of these boats would be
considered overly cumbersome by anyone's standards, both already had
twin engines and, as if that weren't manuverable enough.... bow
thrusters! With a real tunnel ... just like a friggin' luxury yacht!
LoL!
... oh well... to each his own I suppose ;-)

You can laugh, but I'll tell you, I was *very* happy to have thrusters last
Friday trying to put the boat into a very narrow Travel Lift haul out slot
in 30 kt winds. Still took three tries.
But, I agree, at 30 feet thrusters are really more of a toy to play with.
