But, I digress. Call me a Philistine, but the Wally look, reminiscent of Dick Tracy's chin, is too large a departure for us traditionalists, and I believe most buyers would count themselves as such.
Too wierd, too niche-like to appeal to the crowd. So, of course, they'll probably sell the **** out of them, just to show me what I know! |

The Wally designs seem to appeal to a younger generation, who embrace the abstract departure these boats represent. You could call Wally's an expression of individuality... the ultimate challenge to the status quo.
In the end, the quandry and debate over their designs will do more to raise awareness, than sighting these Italian attempts at stealth. There is a certain brilliance in creating press by deliberation. It can also be a double-edged sword.
Time and sales will tell...
