I'm not much into sailing vessels, but I have always appreciated powered ones. My feelings for them go back to when my father used to take a few of his friends and me out for a day to fish on Lake Erie for bass on a motor launch run by a fishing guide out of Turkey Point (located on the Ontario (i.e. north) shore of Lake Erie). I can still recall sitting up on top of the cabin eating my lunch.
When I was in Hawaii more than half a century ago we went out on a fishing launch called the Kona Queen, off the Big Island, where I caught a great Mahi Mahi that was big enough for dinner for our group, cooked by the chef of the motel where we were staying.
And as well, one of my best clients and friends had a 42 foot Chris Craft on which my ex and I spent many wonderful leisurely times on Burlington (Hamilton) Bay and Lake Ontario.
And finally, although it's the farthest thing one could call a yacht or launch, I loved my 14 1/2 foot bowrider with a 70 hp outboard at our lakeside all-season log chalet.
