All these late 1800's and early 1900's hull designs making a comeback is a bit counter-intuitive, but some do have beautiful lines and are cool to look at. But, there's a reason why they went the way of the DoDo Bird all those decades ago. Boat and shipbuilders came up with massively better, and more efficient, hull designes. But, I gotta say, all the Teak, Mahogany, Walnut, Redwood, Oak, Wormy Chesnut, and other types of wood returning to the fold looks friggin awesome. And, if I'm dropping a cool million or more dollars on a boat, it'd better be able to hit triple digits. Going 100mph on a highway feels like 50mph in a lot of these newer vehicles...dare I say, that it's borderline boring. But, try it on the water and it's a whole other animal. Been in a few bass boats that cracked triple digits several times. Talk about an adrenaline rush. Fun as hell.
