I mentioned recently that while we need to tread carefully when we meddle with the economy, there's plenty of things about our modern economy that deserve to die.
How about this Cigarette 59 footer with six Merc racing outboards. This strikes me as a sterling example of our fetishization of wretched excess for its own sake. Six 400hp motors on the back of sixty feet of carbon fibre?
Recreational boating as a concept is a little out of step with the modern ethos. In itself, that's not necessarily a bad thing; after all, I'm a little out of step with the modern ethos myself.
You can have a lot of fun out on the water with a fourteen foot aluminum and a 9.9...
Or even in a canoe!
