Anything, Best looking, fastest, loudest , biggest
 
For Me, Any shovelnose hydro

Would you rate that above the Herreshoffs? Been aboard a few Herreshoffs and think they would be hard to beat in quality and finish (for their day and most days since). .

For the pure fun factor though I'd love to have one of these babies..........

Status: offline 		Like Ron says, a lot of clasifications. Best boat in the world would be comparing a lot of apples to oranges.
The USS Missouri, for battleships. The Greavette Shields, for wooden classics. The Bluenose or the 16' Lazer, for sail. Apache Warrior, for offshore racing. Best boat in the world huhh?
For me it's the canoe. They've stood the test of time and are still pretty hard to beet.
And I double dog dare anyone to disagree. LOL

For as much as I like the speed, sound, and power of drag boats (have attended countless raves) I have found the big offshore races to be pretty spectacular. The sight of twin engine cats and vees at full throttle with helicopters chasing just 20ft overhead is something else.

By the way - this pic was taken in Patchogue NY


I have to agree with you on the offshore racing . I get to attend them a lot down here and hearing the turbines go by is like nothing else but I can't afford a big offshore boat . so I went with a old f1 Champ boat to get my thrill from i saved this 1991 leecraft from years of neglect . and only have $8,000 in to it . I can tel you doing a 180 turn at 100 MPH + 3 G's is the closed i can get to flying a fighter jet !!
