So, what’s the deal with these so-called 21-foot speed boats? I mean, apparently they’re designed for people who want to feel like they’re in a high-speed chase without needing to license a jet fighter. Is it just me, or does everyone somehow end up looking like they’re auditioning for a remake of Baywatch every time they hit the water? And really, who’s in charge of the safety instructions here—my grandma on her third cup of tea or the person who decided that “buckle up,” “hold on,” and “good luck” were sufficient guidelines?
I’m considering diving into the world of the 21-foot speed boat (pun totally intended), but I’ve got questions. How do you handle maneuvering it without it turning into a mid-lake demolition derby? Is it really any faster than a really enthusiastic remote-controlled toy, or have we all just gasped collectively at any noise that isn’t the gentle hum of a fishing boat? And please, enlighten me on what accessories I absolutely must have—life jackets, a helmet, a cape, or maybe a life-sized inflatable duck that doubles as a flotation device?
Any insights, sarcastic remarks, or survival tips are welcome here, because apparently, boat ownership now comes with a built-in stage for demonstrating your best pretzel impressions in water. Let’s navigate these treacherous boating waters together—at full throttle, of course.
