As always, Bo Zolland's digital artistry (mastery!) is perfection. It's hard to critique something that stirs the soul like his retro-renderings, but I recently spent some time snooping around the Porsche designed Fearless runabouts (which appear to be copies Bo's ideas) and quickly realized... these boats are better to look at, then operate.

Case in point, when a sheer line swoops down to the water line, engaging reverse is a parallel thought to locking up your brakes while be followed too closely by a Kenworth. Setting aside the reverse stuff effect, simply stepping onto the decks of these types of boats (especially if they are wet), would become a game of slip & slide, quickly followed by ambulance chaser slipping you his card.

Bo... is there any way you can achieve these sexy, retro lines with something a little more utilitarian, such as a center-console? I'd be willing to bet someone would bankroll it!
