Sorta depends on what one finds interesting and exciting. Banging around
at high speeds in a boat doesn't do much for me.

Poor W'hine. Stuck with an old barge of a houseboat-trawler that needs
constant repairs. Is your other tranny ready to go teats-up?

Sorry, W'hine, but bumping along at high speeds in the ocean or bay is
just not something I have ever enjoyed. One of my old SeaPro's could
touch 50+ mph in the Bay, and I doubt if I ever ran it that fast more
than once. You can't see anything in front of you in the water when you
go that fast (like a semi-submerged log or a crabpot), it burns an
incredible amount of fuel, and if there is any sort of chop, it's not
comfortable.
