Optimism on eBay
The over-optimistic descriptions on eBay never cease to provide amusement. This is the latest I have seen:

Does it really merit the observation "As you can see from the hull shape it is a fast boat we think 30 knots plus"? Or am I missing something?

Perhaps the 30 knots is when you are towing it.
