I too saw that reference and it made me realize it's all relative.
When we made a stop in Nova Scotia, we docked next to another U.S.Bost from the Great Lakes.
He was lamenting that they had recently bought this boat, New, all plastic, Zeus drives, etc.

The rudder angle looks very unusual in the picture. The prop and prop shaft seem to be angled downward toward the stern, but the rudder shaft seems to be angled upward toward the bow as opposed to vertical. Must be an illusion from the camera angle. Very nice stern. Have always been partial to round sterns. Bet it tracks nicely in a following sea.
