Rusty I don't think they are. The rich buy what's popular ... like others. I've seen many "rich" people buy the (green but not economy) car Prius. They need the economy like a hole in their boat but if it's vouge most people buy. It's hard to imagine that the TF people that talk about fuel consumption are short on fuel buying power but it's vouge to appear to be.

Re the boat you posted, unlike a lot of "boats" that get put on here this one is truly interesting. I think I've seen some of the other boats you speak of. NA have trends and vouge designs mostly out of necessity. A NA is a great creator but also an extension of the buyers wishes. And the customers wishes probably open doors to new ideas the NA dos'nt or didn't have. This type you speak of was born of the oil issue to a great extent I'm sure but evolved now because of another element that came along. Like the "eco" trend.
Here's the Wally Ace ' fast displacement' ...
