My idea of a pleasure boat

Probably has something to do with growing up around these, Lobstering, Eeling, horseshoes crab catching (bait for eel pots)

You can swim off them, fish off them, party on them.  They have a bunk area below forward, twin diesels under the deck aft. There is plenty of room in the open aft area for people.

And they really aren't slow.

Problem is, I can't afford one, nor can I afford the mooring area, you don't tow one of these around behind your Corolla.

At the most I can afford is one of these

perhaps not even that.
