Speed junkies, get ready to rumble. Fast speeds are utterly hair-raising when experienced aboard a boat. While it’s true that speed boats do make a lot of sacrifices to squeeze out every possible MPH (cabins are small and devoid of accessories to keep weight down, they’re often quite loud, and seating space is limited), if you want a real thrill ride, there’s simply no substitute.

Watersports boats usually have either inboard V-drive or stern-drive power, but serious boarders commonly prefer inboards. This may be changing, however, with the advent of Volvo Penta’s Forward Drive.

At the same time, since the drive is trim-able (unlike inboard shafts) it gives the captain one more way to shape the waves.
